I’m fundraising in honour of my daughter, Gemma.
I am skipping to fund genetic research so kids like our Gemma can have more of a road mapnto understand their challenges. earch int
I’ve signed up to do 100 skips a day in August to raise money for Children’s Medical Research Institute. Lets hope my old knees can handle it.
Here are some fun facts -
* 1 in 20 children world wide are living with a birth defect or genetic disease.

* 80% of rare diseases are genetic.
* 94% of rare disease do not have approved treatment.
* Majority of cancers develops in genes.
BUT, the sad thing is these statistics are not accurate because genetic screening is not accessible to everyone.
Let's hope increased research and understanding will help fund better access to genetic screening so people don't have to suffer through symptoms they cant explain.
Let's hope, with more genetic screening data, researchers can start working onvtreatments and even cures.
Knowing is understanding.
