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 haven’t skipped in decades, and really not been physically active since Covid due to my own diagnosis, but every day I aim to mention one of the kids that could be effected by this very cause. 

I care about the 1 in 20 Aussie kids who face a birth defect or genetic disease, like cancer. So, the research you and I support today may one day help someone we know, someone in our family. As a counsellor who specialises in genetics, I’ve had personal experience with these families. 

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

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