I'm doing 100 Skips a Day for kids with genetic diseases and I need your help!
Every day this August I'm taking on the Jeans for Genes 100 Skips a Day Challenge.

It's for a really important reason: I want to help the 1 in 20 kids facing a birth defect or genetic disease, like cancer and cystic fibrosis. I'll be pushing myself 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!

Will you support my challenge? Please donate to my fundraiser now!

Proud!!

Proud to say I have the most wonderful supporters!
Thanks to you all - i have now reached my $500, $750, $1000 goals. So i’ve set it again for $1250 - I know times are tough but you’ve shown me that you all believe that the money is important for this cause. 
Thank you !!
And to those of you that can’t donate this week - the challenge goes for the rest of the month so if you find a spare $5 please consider donating when you can .
I’ll be skipping if you need to find me 😘
