48k's for 48 days

By Jordan Johnson

On 9th March 2025, our first baby came into the world. We never could've known the journey that would come next. Our daughter Cora was born with a life threatening birth defect requiring surgery at 2 days old, and went on to spend 48 days at the Mater Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Words can't describe what her team of doctors, nurses, volunteers and other staff did for our family during that time. Whether it was the surgeon who saved her life, the nurses in the cardiac surgery unit who managed her care during the most precarious time, or the nurses in the special care nursery who held our hands through some really dark days as we all worked to help our daughter learn how to feed. They were our angels and we will forever be grateful to the Mater.

To give back, I will be running 48km a week throughout April to represent the 48 days Cora spent at the Mater. Any funds raised will go straight to Mater Little Miracles and any donations big or small would be greatly appreciated.
