The Ansvar Corporate Team
A group of Ansvar corporate volunteers very kindly took the day off work to come work with the Foundation. We were thrilled to have them on board as they packed our hospital survival folder for families of sick & premature babies currently in hospital, which contain vital resource information. We look forward to continuing this great relationship.

A huge THANK YOU, to the wonderful team that took part in the Tough Mudder event in QLD on Sunday 13th Sept 2015.The team not only did an awesome job on the day but did some awesome fundraising too. We can’t thank them enough.
Rob Tunningley
Rob ran the Canberra Marathon on our behalf on 11 April 2015 and raised a very impressive $2,226. Rob’s daughter Lilly is an ex-32 weeker and is his inspiration to run.
Rob says:
“These little people fight so hard to live. I hope to draw on that fighting spirit around 37kms when I hit the wall and remember that no matter how hard the marathon race and training are, its nothing compared to what these tiny kids and their parents go through.”
Nicole Petrin

Makoto Sawa
Ran an unbelievable four ultra-marathons (100km each), four weeks apart, for four different charities at the end of 2014. He chose LLTF as one of the recipients because his nephew was born 6 weeks premature and Life’s Little Treasures Foundation supported his family through the first few months.

VicRoads Metro South East
Life’s Little Treasures Foundation would sincerely like to thank all the VicRoads Metro South East staff members who in June took part in their companies “Casual For a Cause” fundraising campaign. We had been very kindly nominated by Carolyn, a Life’s Little Treasures Foundation mum who works for Vic Roads to be the recipients of all the funds made from fundraising carried out. The guys were amazing and raised a whopping $1,525 which was then donated to LLT. What a fantastic initiative and what a wonderful group of people. The funds were very gratefully accepted and will go a long way in assisting us to provide the necessary LLT material to support families of premature babies in Victoria.
Once again thank you all the Metro South East staff members, we think you ROCK!
