My son Jaxx was born prematurely at 30 weeks and spent 52 challenging days in the Northern Hospital in Epping. This experience led me to be diagnosed postpartum anxiety and PTSD.

In an effort to give back, I've partnered with Northern Health to raise funds for NICUView Cot cameras. Having a baby in the NICU is tough, and one of the hardest parts is going home without them. Parents having access to these cameras at The Northern Hospital can make a huge difference. They let parents see their baby even when they can't be there physically, bringing comfort during a challenging time.

Our goal is to raise funds to provide up to 20 cameras, allowing parents to watch their babies 24/7. Currently, Monash Hospital is the sole facility in Victoria with this feature, and we aim to make Northern Hospital the second.
