Our Story

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?


Our story explaining why this cause is so important:

2 weeks after Patrick was born, we began tests as his heal pricks came back positive for Cystic Fibrosis. It took weeks to get a full diagnosis and help to completely understand such a challenging condition. We are lucky Patrick pancreas is working, so many are not. And the respiratory complications affect all Cystic Fibrosis patients. 


Research has come a long way in 30 years but medical research is so important to get answers for any genetic condition. 


I care about the 1 in 20 Aussie kids who face a birth defect or genetic disease. 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.


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