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!

Doubled Donations today
Good MorningÂ
Today is Jeans for Genes Day & this month, I'm taking on 100km to raise awareness & funds to find cures for kids with genetic diseases.
Any donation could help fund next generation DNA sequencing to find the cause of a child's genetic disease sooner.
And for today only, all donations will be matched so $55=$110, doubling our impact together.
It would mean so much to me if you could support me with a donation to my page here:
