With 48,000 new-born babies requiring the help of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Special Care Nursery (SCN) each year, vital funds are required to support these families.

  • Every year in Australia more than 48,000 new-born babies require the help of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Special Care Nursery (SCN)
  • The experience of having a baby born premature or critically ill can be traumatic and life changing.
  • Miracle Babies Foundation is encouraging Sydneysiders to join them on their annual Miracle Moon Walk event to raise vital funds for the on-going support of premature and sick babies


Amber Sherlock, Sam Squiers and sporting star, Tim Mannah are just some of the stars attending the Miracle Moon Walk for premature and sick children this March.

The experience of having a baby born premature or critically ill can be traumatic and life changing, with more than one third of parents of infants born very preterm (prior to 30 weeks) struggling with depression or anxiety.

In Australia, every hour 6 babies are born premature or critically ill.

As a result, the right support is vital to ensure a healthy long-term outcome for the entire family. Miracle Babies Foundation supports families of premature and sick new-borns and is raising vital funds for their work throughout the month of March and ahead of their annual Miracle
Moon Walk.

“The Miracle Moon Walk is a time for the community to come together as one and journey under the stars for an amazing cause. The night is lit up with the smiles of people from all walks of life who are honouring the miracles still with us and the ones who’ve passed. The walk is an inspiring and moving experience for everyone.”

CEO and Co-founder, Miracle Babies Foundation, Kylie Pussell

The walk will raise funds for essential support services for families, which includes emotional support via the 24-Hour helpline (NurtureLine), face-to-face support services during their hospital stay (NurtureTime), and free play and support groups after they leave the hospital (NurtureGroup).
