Our team has grown!

All four of us are now onboard. So excited to be skipping through August to raise money for medical research. Thanks to all those who have donated already.

Why we’re skipping

We’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 family is affected by Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED), a rare genetic condition. Tim and Bella have EEC syndrome,  a rare form of ED. It affects skin, teeth, eyes, ears, hands and feet, creates clefts and reduces or prevents sweating, among many other impacts. 

It is so important that medical research is funded so that people like Tim and Bella, and those we know in our 'ozED' family have advances in medicine to improve management and care in the future. 

Most people don’t know that cancer is caused by changes in genes—but almost everyone will be touched by it. 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 us. Share this message. Donate. Thank You!

Hi Bella, I've known your awesome parents for many years, and I knew their kids would be awesome too. And you really are! I've benefitted from research into genetic conditions in my life, and I'm really impressed by your determination to help other people, at such a young age. I wish you many happy skips, and great good health!
