So what's it all about . . . .

I am participating in a fund raising activity to raise funds for the Neonatal Intensive care Unit (NICU) at the Canberra Hospital.

Why NICU?
Three of my children were cared for by the staff at NICU, and this is my way of giving something back.

Kiara was born at 31 weeks, weighing 1960grams.

She was in NICU for 3 weeks.

Natassja contracted influenza in the womb and was born at 33 weeks weighing 2055grams and required mechanical ventilation for 72 hours.

She was in NICU for 3 weeks.

Lucas was born at 36 weeks with a strep infection and required antibiotics.

He was in NICU for 10 days.

Even my new baby Kayl was in NICU for 24 hours after birth because he had fluid in his lungs.

I have no doubt that if NICU was not here Kiara, Natassja and even Lucas would not be with me.

At NICU every gram gained by the babies are critical, so every kilo lost by me is a gain for them.

So what am I doing?

I'm losing weight - and I would like your sponsorship to support my efforts.

You can sponsor me a fixed amount, or preferably, sponsor me for every kilogram lost!

I am doing this from the 1st September to 30th November 2012.

My goal is to lose 10kgs in this time.
