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!

$1,000 Goal Reached!
Thanks to your generous donations I have reached my $1,000 goal. I am going to leave it as is and see how high we can take it. Please DONATE - donate - D.O.N.A.T.E!!! :)$500 Goal Reached!
Thanks to your kind donations I have already reached my $500 goal so I have now upped it to $1,000. Who can help me skip across the line???My Commitment
During the month of August I will be skipping every day to raise funds for Jeans for Genes 🧬
This is an amazing charity that has been running since 1994 (the year that Brandon was born) in order to conduct vital research and provide treatment for children affected by genetic disorders and cancers 💙
My Commitment:
A minimum of 100 skips per day ✅
Now some of you may think that this will be an easy undertaking but please remember that I am a busy full-time SAHM, post c-section, who hasn’t skipped in years! AND added to that I am carrying far more weight than the last time that I even picked up a skipping rope 🤪
Why am I doing this???
I personally felt a strong connection to this charity because of our Son Owen. As many of you know he was in the NICU, thankfully not affected by any genetic disorders or cancers but in his first year of life we were scared into believing that a diagnosis was very possible. It was a harrowing time for our Family and caused a lot of undue stress. We can’t imagine how our lives would have been turned upside if a diagnosis had been our reality.
So, I have decided to take part in skipping for Jeans for Genes 🧬
My GOAL:
🌟 $500! 🌟
I have done it before for WaterAid and the Women’s Walk for Cancer and I believe that I can do it again, but I need your help 🙋♀️
What can you do???
Kindly DONATE to my charity page . . . even if it is just a few dollars or the cost of a coffee ☕️
Your support and generosity is greatly appreciated! 🙏
