Although the training is gruelling, the long runs are lonely and your body aches in places you didn’t know existed – I’ve done it by choice and with support. Many women face pregnancy under enormous pressure, with none of that.
That’s why I’m running this marathon to raise money for First Steps Pregnancy Support, a non-profit organisation dedicated to walking alongside women and families who need help during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.
I’m currently a 3rd Year midwifery student at the University of Canberra, and I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside women from all backgrounds —supporting them as they navigate the physical, emotional and psychological demands of pregnancy and birth.
First Steps Pregnancy Support offers real, practical, and compassionate care —antenatal support, parenting classes, baby supplies, and most importantly, a safe and non-judgmental space for women to be heard and supported.
With gratitude,
Liz Williams
Marathon runner, midwifery student, and passionate supporter of FSPS
