100 Skips a Day 2026

I’m fundraising in honour of my dad.

So far I have completed 800 skips in
August for kids with genetic diseases

Total Skips

800 Skips

Goal

3,100 Skips

Why I’m skipping
I’ve signed up to do 100 skips a day throughout August to raise money for Children’s Medical Research Institute and help save more kids’ lives. Can you help by sharing this message with the people you know and asking them to donate too?

I have a genetic condition called EEC syndrome, a form of Ectodermal Dysplasia. It has many complicated impacts on my body and means I've already had more than 20 surgeries. My Dad has the same condition, and my family is part of a national network of people with Ectodermal Dysplasia called ozED (www.ozed.org.au).

There is very little research focused on Ectodermal Dysplasia, so I am doing this to raise money for research. 

I care about the 1 in 20 Aussie kids who face a birth defect or genetic disease, like ectodermal dysplasia and cancer. Most people don’t know that cancer is caused by changes in genes—but almost everyone will be touched by it. So, the research you and I support today may one day help someone we know, someone in our family.

There’s lots of work to do, but there is also lots of hope.

Join me. Share this message. Donate. Thank You!

Hi Bella, I've known your awesome parents for many years, and I knew their kids would be awesome too. And you really are! I've benefitted from research into genetic conditions in my life, and I'm really impressed by your determination to help other people, at such a young age.
