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, I’m 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 I take is for them. Your donation will help me go the distance and fund vital research!

K for Kids Skipping challenge
This August, I’m committing to 1,000 skips a day as part of the Ks for Kids challenge to help raise funds for Jeans for Genes — a cause close to my heart. The money raised supports the Children’s Medical Research Institute, which is working to find cures for the 1 in 20 kids facing serious genetic conditions. Every skip counts, and every dollar makes a difference 💙
