Sarah Rusholme
About Sarah
Sarah is the Chief Executive of the Little Miracles Trust - the national charity supporting whānau on a NICU or SCBU journey. Her sons, Cormac and Ziggy were born prematurely after a Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome pregnancy. Ziggy died before delivery, and Mac spent several weeks in Wellington NICU. As a result, Sarah and her family are passionate supporters of the Little Miracles Trust and SANDS NZ, having experienced firsthand the difference their support makes. Sarah started out as a scientist and has a PhD in medical genetics and MSc in Science Communication. She swapped the lab for not-for-profit sector leadership, and is a chartered director, serving on a number of boards.

The Carosika Collaborative Steering Group is a transdisciplinary group of individuals passionate about preterm birth and achieving equity.

The Steering Group provides direction, oversight, coordination and support to Carosika Collaborative initiatives and has been responsible for developing the Carosika Collaborative five-year Strategic Kete. The majority of members contribute their time in-kind. The Carosika Collaborative Steering Group Terms of Reference can be accessed here.
