Held last November 2, 2024, the walk marked a milestone as it was the first time the event was held in Melbourne, while Sydney played host to the much-loved annual walk. Together, the communities raised an incredible amount for the First Breath initiative, which supports safe deliveries and essential prenatal and postnatal care.
100 First Breaths, One Powerful Impact
Thanks to your incredible support, the First Breath Walk 2024 raised a remarkable $26,862. This generous amount ensures that 100 babies in Sierra Leone will take their precious first breaths through safe Normal Vaginal Deliveries, supported by essential pre- and postnatal care.
Each step you took brought us closer to this goal, directly impacting the lives of mothers and babies who will now have the opportunity for healthier, safer births. Your participation and generosity have made this life-changing difference possible.
A Day Filled with Fun, Community, and Compassion
The success of the First Breath Walk 2024 was not only measured by the funds raised, but by the spirit of compassion that radiated throughout the day. Participants, from all walks of life, came together to walk 13km in support of giving babies in Sierra Leone the opportunity to take their First Breath.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and supported the First Breath Walk 2024. Your support has made this event a huge success, helping ensure that babies in Sierra Leone will take their first breaths safely, with the medical care they need.
Because of your generosity, we’re one step closer to a brighter, healthier future for mothers and babies. Thank you for being a part of this important cause!
