Current Events for 2012

2011 was a great year for LLTF and all the events we ran, we very much appreciated the support we received from everyone.  Stay tuned for what will be happening in 2012 as we continue fundraising to assist families of premature & sick babies 

   2011 Walk for Prems

Sunday 6th November 2011

Each year thousands of babies are born premature or sick, and a whole family begins the journey through neonatal intensive care units and special care nurseries.

On the 6th of November 2011 at locations throughout the country, families, friends and supporters walked for these special babies to help raise funds for the Life’s Little Treasures Foundation.

The major walk/fun run was held at Albert Park Lake in Melbourne where participants could take part in a timed 10km run, 5km run or 5km walk. This was followed by a wide range of entertainment including music, jumping castle, animal farm, face-painting and much more, with lots of families bringing picnics.

Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth held smaller events consisting of a social walk and BYO picnics.

We are also thrilled to announce that 2,300 people attended the event throughout Australia and so far have raised $83,000!!  This is a fantastic result and not far away from  reaching our goal of $100,000.  Thank you very much to everyone who has either donated, sponsored or contributed in some way to achieve this figure. 

For those who are fundraising through Everyday Hero for us,  the fundraising competition is still on and hotting up – so if you would like to be in a position to win one of the fabulous prize packages on offer and help us get close to our target, there is still time as the competition ends 30th November.  However, our Everyday Hero Page for Walk for Prems is open until 27th December so for those of you not taking part but would still like to help us, there is plenty of time to get your network to donate to your fundraising page.

For those of you who are not fundraising online but would still like to help us achieve $100,000,  please let your friends, family and colleagues know that they can donate directly online by going to http://www.lifeslittletreasures.org.au/donate/

Thanks again to the Foundation’s wonderful supporters and helping us raise awareness and funds to help premature and sick babies.  

We will announce the winners of our fundraising competition after the 30th November and also the finally amount raised – so stay tuned!

The Foundation ran a series of monthly information sessions for families of premature and sick babies. In 2010 the sessions covered areas such as Diet, Feeding, Post Natal Depression, Dentistry, Developmental Milestones and Occupational Therapy. As the parent of a prem or sick child we are forever wondering if we are “doing the right thing”. We hope that through these sessions families were able to walk away with information that enabled them to become more confident.

These sessions are now finished for 2010.  A big thank you to all the professionals who gave up their time to come & speak to the families, the sessions where a great success and we hope to have them again in 2012.

If you have any ideas for a topic you’d like to see covered then please do email us at contact_us@lifeslittletreasures.org.au and let us know.
