24 Hour Spinathon Online Auction
In 2019 Joe Blackwell was born 9 weeks premature at The Royal Hospital for Women in Randwick. To complicate matters, Joe was born with a serious heart condition. Joe fought hard for 5 weeks and 1 day under the care of the team in The Royal’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) but sadly lost his fight.
To honour the care that Joe received while he was at The Royal, Joe’s parents, Mike and Jayne Blackwell, have created this 24 Hour Spinathon, held each year to continue Joe’s legacy.
In 2019, The 24 Hour Spinathon raised over $180,000 for the NICU. The funds have purchased life-saving equipment such as a humidicrib and portable x-ray machine that will save thousands of premature babies lives each year.
This year, the 24 Hour Spinathon is raising vital funds for life-saving research that will improve health outcomes for premature babies. All sales through this auction will help premature babies.
