Charlie and Miles

My Kilometres for Kids challenge is dedicated to the honour of my son, Charlie and Miles

Support Alexandra raise money for Starship Foundation this March

This March I will be walking 85 kms to support and raise money for Starship Foundation and the Starship Air Ambulance.

When my waters broke when I was 30 weeks pregnant with my twin boys, Charlie and Miles, we were told I wouldn’t be able to give birth in Tauranga due to their early gestation. For the next couple of days we waited for the news of an available bed at a hospital with a Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit, and were told if this did not happen in time then the twins would be born in Tauranga and airlifted to a unit after the fact. This could have been to any Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit in the country including Starships unit via the Starship Air Ambulance. 

This was a scary and uncertain time for me and my family, but knowing there were ambulance air services such as the Starship Air Ambulance available and neonatal units that were equipped to care for the twins brought us some reassurance. Thankfully, a bed became available at the Waikato unit the day before the twins safely arrived so Starships services were not required.

However, these are services that many families in New Zealand do rely on and they are counting on our support. That's why I will be giving it my all this March to help keep the Starship National Air Ambulance flying 24/7. 

I am completing this challenge in honour of my brave twin boys who spent a week in Waikato’s neonatal intensive care unit and five and a half weeks in Tauranga’s special care baby unit and are now thriving thanks to the outstanding medical care they received.  

Please support me this March by donating now to help Kiwi Kids and their families.
