I’m fundraising in support of my cousin, Ethan.

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?

Here is Ethan’s story:

Ethan was a healthy, active child, until one day out of the blue, he wasn’t quite right, frequent ear and throat infections and joint stiffness. His parents knew something was very wrong.
Doctors found something wrong. Many DNA tests to determined Ethan’s diagnosis- Hunter Syndrome, mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II). They are lucky that his treatment is covered, but it means Ethan and his family attend weekly treatments that help slow the progression of his disease.

Medical research is so important to get any answers for any genetic condition. Research needs to continue so the next child diagnosed with a genetic disease —it can help them.

I care about the 1 in 20 Aussie kids who face a birth defect or genetic disease, like cancer. Most people don’t know that cancer is caused by changes in genes—but almost everyone will be touched by it. So, the research you and I support today may one day help someone we know, someone in our family or community.

There’s lots of work to do, but there is also lots of hope.

Join me. Share this message. Donate. Thank You!
