THE 20th anniversary celebration of Life’s Little Treasures Foundation (LLTF) reached Shepparton recently, with a hugely successful local instalment of the Walk for Prems – The Mighty Trek Challenge, presented by Baby Bunting.
Held at Victoria Park Lake, the event on October 17 formed part of a 900km journey from Syndey to Melbourne, where participants symbolically pushed a neonatal incubator to raise awareness and funds for sick and premature babies.
Shepparton locals turned out in strong support, walking alongside families, hospital staff and volunteers to raise funds for the foundation’s work and local hospitals. Half of the proceeds raised by hospital teams will directly benefit neonatal and special care units in their own communities.
The national campaign to raise $1M to expand LLTF’s support services to 20 tertiary hospitals by 2026. To date, the foundation has helped thousands of families navigate the challenges of premature birth and neonatal care. For more information or to get involved, visit themightytrek.org.au.
