I'm Skipping for a Cause – Jeans for Genes & 100 Skips a Day in August!

This August, I’m proudly taking part in Jeans for Genes Day and challenging myself to complete 100 skips each day to raise funds and awareness for genetic research – and I’m doing it for kids like beautiful James.

James is a child I’m incredibly privileged to care for. He was born with an extremely rare genetic disorder called Beaulieu-Boycott-Innes Syndrome – a condition so rare that little is known about it, and even fewer treatment options exist. Yet James, like so many children living with genetic conditions, shows remarkable strength, resilience, and joy every day.

I’m fundraising to support vital research into genetic disorders, giving hope to families like James’s and helping create a future where these conditions can be better understood, treated, or even cured.

By donating, you’re not just helping me hit my target – you’re supporting life-changing medical research for thousands of children across Australia who deserve the very best start in life.

If you can spare a few dollars, it would mean the world to me – and to families like James’s.

🙏 Thank you so much for your support. 💙
