In this episode Scarlet has a conversation with Churchill Fellow Peter Cursley about his work in creating the Newborn Intensive Care Foundation, which so far has raised over $4 million for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Canberra Hospital.

Overcoming incredible loss, Peter has transformed his pain into purpose and has helped the lives of young families in the greater Canberra region. The Foundation assists Canberra’s NICU to provide nation-leading support for hundreds of newborn babies and their families in and around the ACT region each year.

Peter was recognised for his work in the 2016 Australian of the Year Awards, nominated at the the ACT State Local Hero.

Peter now has plans to extend the reach of his Foundation to the Gippsland region with a focus on providing much needed medical equipment to the Sale and Bairnsdale hospitals.
