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!
