So far we’ve completed 0 Ks for Kids this August

A message from Sam and Matt x

In April this year, we welcomed our precious little Rudy into our family. Within the same week, he was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a genetic condition that affects the nerves and muscles. The weeks and months that followed have been an emotional roller coaster! 

We are incredibly grateful to be under the care of the amazing medical team at WHC and that Rudy has been able to access life-changing treatment. This treatment is only possible because of years of dedicated research into SMA and other genetic conditions.

Throughout the month of August, Matt and I will be taking part in the "Ks for Kids" fundraiser by walking 100ks to raise money for Jeans for Genes and help support the vital research required for children like Rudy in the future. 

If you’re looking to support, either share our fundraiser or donate to our team page. 

Much love!

Why We’re Doing Ks for Kids

Did you know that 1 in 20 Aussie kids are born with a genetic disease or birth defect? That’s one in every classroom!

This August, we’re taking on the Ks for Kids challenge - walking or running to raise funds for Children’s Medical Research Institute, supporting scientists who are working today to find cures for tomorrow.

Your donation will help keep labs running, research advancing, and hope alive for kids who need it most.

Every step we take is for them. Your donation will help us go the distance and fund vital research!
