Michelle McCranor has been riding the roller coaster of grief since 2001 when her daughter Celeste was Stillborn. Along with her husband Tim, they had no idea what Stillbirth was until it happened to them.

Michelle is extremely passionate about helping to reduce the Stillbirth statistics so that other families do not have to suffer the lifelong devastation that her family has. Michelle intends to do this by the only way she knows how, running and sharing her story.

Michelle’s goal is to raise $1,000,000 for Stillbirth Foundation Australia to further support research and advocacy into preventable measures for Stillbirth. In November 2025 Michelle set off from Adelaide to run 1,000kms to Melbourne, via the coast raising awareness and funds along the way. Unfortunately she suffered a substantial injury at 569km’s and had to end the run short. However she raised over $100,000 on this journey over 11 days.
