Together, we can save newborn lives – won’t you join us?

Support us

Congratulations, Marieke, Rob and Grant our incredible Red River Runners! They battled the heat, tired legs and dogs to make it to Lao Cai Obstetrics and Newborn Unit in 29 hours. Incredible determination and passion to make a difference for newborns in one of the poorest provinces in Vietnam kept them going. There was a warm welcome for the Runners from the Director of the Hospital and the neonatal team. They handed over medical equipment from ABCIS International School HMCH and IDS Medical. Our tired runners rounded off their heroic two days with a visit to the neonatal nurseries a fitting end to their extraordinary challenge!
