I’m fundraising in support of someone.

So far I have completed 1,200 skips in
August for kids with genetic diseases

Total Skips

1,200 Skips

Goal

3,100 Skips

Im fundraising to support other kids like myself affected by childhood illness /abnormalities.
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. I Would appreciate your support via donation or in  sharing of this message so i can get as many donations i can this August. 
My Story had me 3 years ago aged 9, becoming suddenly short of breath one night, this was later discovered to be  caused from 2 large congenital heart defects. I underwent open heart surgery and am very thankful to be well now and can participate in this months skip and support other kids.

Here's another story explaining why this cause is so important:

Harrison was a healthy, active child, until one day out of the blue, “He wasn’t quite right, and then the next day he just stopped walking, and we knew something was very wrong,” said his father, Adam.

Doctors found something wrong with his blood, and when his parents were told it could be leukaemia “everything stopped.” As terrifying as that word was for them to hear, it got worse as Harrison’s case was unique, and it took many DNA tests to determine he had acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). They were lucky to get the right treatment after the right diagnosis, but it could have gone very differently if that work had not been done.

“Medical research is so important to get any answers for any genetic condition,” said his mum, Naomi. “For Harrison, the research done prior to him getting sick is what helped save our son. Research needs to continue so the next child diagnosed with a rare form of AML or any cancer—it can help them.”

I care about the 1 in 20 Aussie kids who face a birth defect or genetic disease, like 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.
