100 Skips a Day 2026

I’m fundraising in recognition of my friend.

So far I have completed 500 skips in
August for kids with genetic diseases

Goal

3,100 Skips

Why I’m skipping

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

As a paediatric occupational therapist, I’ve worked with many incredible children living with genetic conditions. I also have a close friend whose child has a rare genetic condition. Seeing the strength of these children and their families, both professionally and personally, has made this cause one that is very close to my heart.

That’s why I’m taking on 100 skips a day throughout August to raise funds for the Children’s Medical Research Institute.

Many people don’t realise that diseases like cancer are caused by changes in our genes. The research we support today has the potential to change lives tomorrow.

If you’re able to, I’d be so grateful for your support. Please consider donating or sharing this post to help spread the word.

Together, we can bring hope to children and families who need it most.

💙 Thank you for your support.
