Mighty Minis: Little treasures. A mighty difference.

Some causes stay close to your heart, For me, Running for Premature Babies is one of those.

I’m so proud to introduce our Mighty Minis collection, with 10% of sales from the collection going to Running for Premature Babies. It’s our way of supporting the tiniest babies, their families and the incredible teams who care for them.

And it’s something that means a great deal to me personally.

 

Why this means so much to me

Our little boy Woody was born prematurely in 2019 at 34 weeks, weighing just 2kg. He arrived via emergency c-section because he’d stopped growing and my placenta had effectively stopped providing him with nutrients.

Woody was also born with Down syndrome, which we knew about, and an ASD, a hole in his heart. There was a lot going on, and those early days were a stressful time for our family.

He spent his first two weeks in hospital, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the medical team who looked after him and the equipment that supported him when he needed it most.

It’s why I feel so strongly about helping other babies and families get the support they need.

 

The work of Running for Premature Babies

Running for Premature Babies helps fund lifesaving neonatal equipment for hospitals across Australia, giving sick and premature babies a better chance of survival.

That includes equipment such as humidicribs and ventilators, helping medical teams care for babies who need extra support to grow, breathe and get stronger. The charity also supports research to improve the care of premature babies into the future.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting Sophie, the charity’s founder, and she is an inspiration. The work she and the Running for Premature Babies community do is making a real difference for families like ours.

For me, this isn’t just about pieces of equipment. It’s about a little baby getting the help they need, a family having access to specialist care and the people beside them having the tools to do their incredible work.

Small steps through the Premmie Marathon Challenge

I ran the Sydney Marathon for Running for Premature Babies in 2025 and 2026. Taking on 42.2km was no small thing to sign up for, but having such a personal reason behind it meant so much.

This November, the charity’s Premmie Marathon Challenge is another lovely way to get involved.

Held during Prematurity Awareness Month, the challenge brings people together to get moving and raise funds for lifesaving neonatal equipment. You choose your distance and work towards it throughout November, whether you’re walking, running or riding.

What I love is that you can make it work for you. It doesn’t have to mean running a whole marathon in one go. It might be walks with the pram, a run with a friend or a little movement each day.

Sign up to the Snuggle Hunny team and let's get moving. 

 

Introducing Mighty Minis

With Mighty Minis, I wanted to share our passion through our collections with our Snuggle Hunny community.

We’ll be donating 10% of sales from the collection to Running for Premature Babies, helping support their important work for sick and premature babies.

Whether you’re choosing something for your own little one or a gift for a family you love, your purchase from Mighty Minis will be part of that contribution.

Plus you can grab a t-shirt for yourself to wear

These babies might be mini, but the strength they show is mighty. So is the love around them.

 

To our premmie families

If you’ve spent any time in NICU or Special Care, this collection holds a special place for you.

I know every family’s experience is different. I also know how much it means to have people caring for your little one when they’re at their most vulnerable.

I’m so grateful we can use our Snuggle Hunny community to give something back.

Thank you for helping us support Running for Premature Babies. I'm so excited to share Mighty Minis with you.
