FAQ:

Life’s Little Treasures Foundation receives all proceeds, after expenses to continue supporting families of premature and sick babies.

The Life’s Little Treasures Foundation is a charity that provides support, understanding, information and assistance throughout Australia to families of children born prematurely or sick. Our services are available in the hospital (neonatal intensive and special care units) and the community when families come home.

The Foundation receives no government funding and is solely reliant on public donations with 100% of all fundraising going to the Life’s Little Treasures Foundation, who also organise the event through their staff and volunteers.

Some families sadly have a little treasure that is now an angel. This year we will again remember these precious babies with a short ceremony at the start of the walk that we symbolise with the release of doves.

Registration opens at 8.30am on the day.  We recommend you register online prior to the event to ensure your place.

Well known children’s entertainers The Mikmaks will open this year’s walk at 9.30am
