VTM: Team Newborns Racing to Save Babies’ Lives

The Vietnam Trail Marathon (VTM) is our first event of the New Year, and Team Newborns is ready to hit the trails with determination and purpose. We are proud to be racing to save lives and raising funds for Newborn Life Support (NLS) scholarships. These scholarships enable doctors, nurses, and midwives from Vietnam’s most underserved areas to receive UK-standard training in newborn resuscitation—a critical step toward ending preventable newborn deaths. Trail runners with a mission: The drive to be lifesavers fuels our runners as they race to the finish line, proudly raising the Newborns flag high.

Thin and Linh: “This is first time my husband and I participated in a running event representing Newborn Vietnam charity fund, we were truly overwhelmed with inspiration and pride. Despite not being professional athletes, we carry a significant goal in each and every step of our way: to help resuscitate newborns. We both could not contain our happiness when we crossed the finish line, knowing that we were running not just for ourselves, but also for the babies. From those very first challenging steps, we understood that with sincere hearts, every small action can make great changes. This is an invaluable experience that we will always cherish.”

Mr. Giang said: “VTM 2025 is not the first time I got the chance to participate with Newborns Vietnam, it has always been fortunate, and I appreciate the ultimately meaningful contribution of Newborns Vietnam in equipping doctors with professional knowledge to support and save newborn babies. It is a wonderful thing. Personally, I always look forward to accompanying Newborn Vietnam team in the next races. Thank you so much Newborns Vietnam”

Ms. Van said: “I am proud to be part of the Newborns team, to support and stand by Newborn, to see my running carry a positive message. With the spirit of Newborns Vietnam, I am always ready to give my best to take my journey as far as I can.”
