About the Company
Running for Premature Babies (RFPB) is a national charity with a powerful mission: to give sick and premature babies a better chance of survival. Founded by Sophie Smith after the heartbreaking loss of her prematurely born triplets, RFPB raises funds to purchase urgently needed neonatal equipment for hospitals across Australia.
Our unique approach inspires individuals to take on running challenges—whether through mass participation events or our flagship virtual event, the Premmie Marathon Challenge.
