I'm doing 100 Skips a Day (yes, you read that right) for little kids with genetic diseases and I need your help!


Hello 👋 This August, I’m taking on the 100 Skips a Day challenge for Jeans for Genes.


Have I done much skipping as an adult? Absolutely not. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s been decades since I last picked up a rope! But if it helps even one kiddo doing it tough, I’m in.


I’m skipping to support the 1 in 20 Aussie kids facing birth defects or genetic diseases like cancer and cystic fibrosis. I'll be pushing myself (I’m sweating already thinking about this) this August because these kids need our help!


Every dollar raised from my challenge goes to Children’s Medical Research Institute and helps find treatments and cures that will save children’s lives. Your support will change the future for children living with genetic diseases!


If you can, please support my challenge and donate to my fundraiser—it really does make a difference.

Day One

As my bio mentions, I haven’t skipped since primary school, back when skipping was the ultimate playground flex.

But tonight at 8:15pm, armed with a brand new skipping rope (shoutout to Amazon next-day delivery), I stood in my kitchen determined to give it a go.

Four sets of 25 later, I had officially clocked 100 skips on Day One. The first few were slow and awkward, but the thought of hitting my goal and catching the Broncos game kept me moving. Somewhere around the 80-skip mark, I think I even got a bit of a jumper’s high.

At 100, I figured why not round it off with 10 more for good measure. A private encore jump you might say.
