KYE Wilkinson is an energetic five-year-old who loves dinosaurs and Carlton Football Club.
But the McCrae boy’s entry into the world was dramatic — he was born at 27 weeks and weighing just 1.2kg.
Kye spent the first 72 days of his life in hospital and mum, Sarah, recalls the time as a rollercoaster.
Kye’s sister, Mia, 4, was born at 36 weeks and weighing a healthier 2.2kg.
“I was surprised when Mia went much later — I was hoping she would,” Ms Wilkinson said with a smile.
Ms Wilkinson and husband Mark, along with Kye and Mia, will participate in the ‘Walk for Prems’ fundraiser at Albert Park Lake on October 28.
Money raised will be used by the Life’s Little Treasures Foundation support the families of babies born sick or prior to 37 weeks gestation.
Ms Wilkinson said the family wanted to repay the Foundation for the help they received following the birth of Kye.
