100 Skips a Day 2026

So far I have completed 3,715 skips in
August for kids with genetic diseases

Total Skips

3,715 Skips

Goal

3,100 Skips

Why I’m skipping
Hello! I’ve recently realised how lucky I am to not have a genetic disease that affects my health or well being so 
I’ve signed up to do 100 skips a day throughout August to raise money for Children’s Medical Research Institute. 
I want all children to be free to live without medical appointments and being scared. Can you help by sharing this message with the people you know and asking them to donate too? From Elliott

Skipping!

A massive thank you to everyone who donated to Elliott’s Skipping Challenge.
Thanks to your incredible generosity and encouragement, Elliott far surpassed his original fundraising goal of $500, raising an amazing $3,229, which will fund approximately 64 hours of vital medical research through the Children’s Medical Research Institute. Elliott has been blown away by the support he has received from family, friends, school and the wider community. Every donation, message of encouragement and cheer from the sidelines helped keep him keep motivated to reach this incredible milestone.

A message from Elliott:
“Thank you for donating to my skipping challenge - I did it and I passed my goal! Sometimes the challenge was tricky, but it was nothing compared to the challenges that some children with genetic conditions face every day. Along the way, I learned lots of new ways to skip and got better every day. I feel really happy that I participated in this challenge, and I hope the money raised helps researchers find new treatments and cures.
I can’t wait for the day when more children with genetic conditions have access to treatments and cures, and their families have the support they need through their toughest moments. Thank you for helping make a difference and giving hope to children and their families.”

Thank you, Elliott, for raising money for such an important cause! As a researcher studying how the brain forms and develops in children, I know how essential research is to giving every child the best possible start in life. Your support helps advance discoveries that can bring hope to children and families affected by genetic conditions. Thank you for making a real difference, every dollar raised helps move research forward!
