We've done so many events over the years, but this year, there's the TCS Sydney Marathon, which is now International World Marathon Major.

So it's like the biggest marathon in the world, Sydney Marathon.

And Running for Premature Babies is the headline charity of the TCS Sydney Marathon.

And we have about 700 people running in Sydney.

And...

Coincidentally, the marathon weekend is the 29th and 30th of August.

On the 29th of August, they call it the mini marathon.

It's a five kilometer fun run the day before the marathon.

And the 29th of August happens to be Evan's anniversary of his passing.

And I can think of no greater way than to mark his anniversary than to run.

In fact, I've been...

I've got a whole heap of people signing up for the Biddy marathon who have themselves started their lives in equipment donated by Running for Premature Babies.

For sure, we have children.

who would not have survived if it wasn't for the equipment that Running for Premature Babies has donated, especially ventilators.

We talked before about ventilators not being able to support Jasper.

The technology of ventilators is so incredible these days, but they're very expensive.

And a lot of the time, hospitals can't afford them.

So we have provided state-of-the-art neonatal ventilators that mean that a baby like Jasper, babies smaller than Jasper, are able to...

to survive with this equipment.

So we've got children... I've got children coming along to run the mini marathon.
