100 Skips a Day 2026

So far I have completed 1,040 skips in
August for kids with genetic diseases

Total Skips

1,040 Skips

Goal

3,100 Skips

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?

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.

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

Skipping may not be your thing - with dodgy knees I’m going to try to do 100 skips a day in August. If skipping is not your thing then why not walk or run 60km in August?

Thank You from “Stethoscopes & Skipping Ropes” headed by Terrigal & Avoca Beach Medical Centres.
