Why I’m skipping
This August, I'm doing 100 skips a day to raise money for Children's Medical Research Institute and I need your help.Please share this message and ask your friends and family to donate.
Here's why this matters to me:
Harrison was a healthy, active little boy,
until one day, out of nowhere, his dad Adam noticed he "wasn't quite right." The next day, he stopped walking. Doctors found something wrong with his blood. The word "leukaemia" was devastating enough but Harrison's case was so rare it took multiple DNA tests to identify it as acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
They found the right diagnosis. They got the right treatment. Harrison survived but only because the research had already been done.
"Medical research is so important," said his mum Naomi. "The research done before Harrison got sick is what helped save our son. It needs to continueso the next child diagnosed with a rare cancer can be helped too."
1 in 20 Australian children face a birth defect or genetic disease. Most of us don't realise that cancer is a genetic disease which means almost every family will be touched by this work at some point. The research we fund today could one day help someone we love.
There is so much still to do. But there is also so much hope.
