I’m fundraising in support of someone.
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?My nephew was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 4 weeks old through the heel prick test that is conducted at birth, he is currently 2.5 years old.
I myself was freshly post-partum at this time, with my son being 12 days older than his little cousin. I've since watched my nephew grow into a beautiful, bright and happy little boy despite the challenges he faces. He has already spent a lot of time in hospital due to common illnesses that all children get, he just doesn't cope as well with them. A simple common cold sent him to hospital for 2 nights only a few weeks ago.
He spent Christmas in hospital with a pic line and 6 hourly antibiotics due to a chest infection.
He has monthly appointments with his CF team and there are a lot of things he won't be able to do due to his condition.
He doesn't let any of this stop him though, and is absolutely thriving with the help of his daily medications and physio.
I'm doing this to support my sister, my nephew and their family. But there are so many families with similar stories to this.
The research that you and I support today may one day help someone you know, someone in your family too.
There’s lots of work to do, but there is also lots of hope.
Join me. Share this message. Donate. Thank You!
