Miracle Babies

Enjoy a 2.5 hour night walk around Sydney’s beautiful harbourside in honour of the 48,000+ babies born premature or sick each year.

Every year in Australia more than 48,000 newborn babies require the help of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Special Care Nursery (SCN). 27,000 of these babies are born premature and up to 1,000 babies lose their fight for life. The experience of having a baby born premature or critically ill can be traumatic and life changing. The right support is vital to ensure a healthy long-term outcome for the entire family.

The annual Miracle Moon Walk event is on Saturday 26th March 2022. This special night aims to raise important funds for the work of Miracle Babies Foundation, Australia’s leading organisation supporting premature and sick newborns, their families and the hospitals that care for them.

The 2.5 hour course, that starts and finishes at the event hub in the heart of the city at Martin Place, takes in Sydney’s most iconic city and harbourfront locations such as Circular Quay, the Opera House, and Barangaroo, PLUS for the first time ever, the route will venture up to stunning Observatory Hill to take in the city under the stars from the highest point.

 

This year, there will also be plenty of opportunities for photos and fun as the walker’s visit each of the NEW surprise stations along the route.

Expect there to be lots of laughter, a few tears, and most importantly the incredible feeling of doing something meaningful for another family – while having a lot of fun along the way.

“The Miracle Moon Walk is a time for the community to come together as one and journey under the stars for an amazing cause. The night is lit up with the smiles of people from all walks of life who are honouring the miracles still with us and the ones who’ve passed. The walk is an inspiring and moving experience for everyone.”  Kylie Pussell, CEO & Co-Founder, Miracle Babies Foundation

Money raised goes toward Miracle Babies vital support services for families, which includes emotional support via the 24-Hour helpline (NurtureLine), face-to-face support services during their hospital stay (NurtureTime), and free play and support groups after they leave the hospital (NurtureGroup).

Miracle Babies also provide emergency care packs, NICU Survival Packs (which include the NurtureGuide Book to help families through their NICU experience and beyond), Memory Boxes for families mourning the death of their baby, along with donations of clothing and items for premature and sick babies.
