And she is walking our little premie miracle Sophia Grace is walking and just in time really, On Sunday October 25th the Walk for Premmies will take place all over Australia with thousands of people taking part to support Life's Little Treasures Foundation.
We were blessed that when our little one entered the World just 6 weeks early she very quickly was breathing and eating on her own so was only in special care for a week and although she has always been on the small side she is a healthy and beautiful little girl. Not every early baby has such an easy journey and that's whey organisations like Little Treasures are so vital for families in need of support.
On Sunday the 25th of October I will be walking in support of support of the 47,748 premature or sick babies and I encourage you to too.
