100 Skips a Day

My Skipping Progress

Total Skips

5,300 Skips

Goal

3,100 Skips

100% Complete
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!

Gratitude

As I had lunch with two mums who have been long time friends, from primary school onwards … we talked mum stuff and one of us is lucky to have grandchildren.Β 
I reflected on just how lucky I am to have breezed through parenting (to a certain level)Β 
I’ve never had to worry or be stressed of unknown medical complications and uncertainties. Never spend hours, days weeks in hospitals. Never had doctors talking language I don’t understand.Β 
This is so small but a small something I can do for others.Β

Rainy day

I wanted to get to my local school and have a skip in the playground but the rain has kept me undercover at home. Hopefully new location tomorrow 🀞🏻
