Together, we can save newborn lives – will you join us?

Support us

Congratulations to all our runners!

 

Last Sunday was the Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon and we couldn’t be more proud of our amazing runners for staying the course. It was a hot one out there on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City with temperatures reaching 37 degrees, but despite the difficult conditions, all the Team Newborns runners put in heroic performances, with a special congratulations going out to Chi Nguyen who ran an incredible marathon for a podium finish with a personal record time of 03:04:20!

 

It truly meant the world to us to have so many people out there flying the Newborns flag and showing the world that together we will not stop until every maternity ward in Vietnam has the equipment it needs to give every baby a fair chance at life.

 

Newborns would like to say a big thank you to Techcombank and Sunrise Events Vietnam for organising such a brilliant race. With over 13,000 runners taking part, it was a truly inspirational event to be a part of and we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be involved.
