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!

So I've had an injury which has restricted the extra I do and some nights it was just making it to 100 to complete the challenge.On Monday my knee injury was to painful however Tuesday I did make it up by doing 300 skips.
The month has gone by fast. And im proud to say I committed myself to this challenge and appreciate all the support that was donated to this cause. Thank you.

Sorry I've been MIA. I assure you the skipping has continued (there have been 2 missed days due to events and time got away before I remembered however I did 200 the following days so my overall skips is still tracking!This has really gave been a hit of dopamine and I've now start doing some stretches and light work out before and after skipping to get fitter.
Having this commitment has really given me a new perspective and motivation.
So thanks to everyone that donated because your donation have not only supported the jeans for genes foundation but its also given me a supportive oppertunity to grow myself!

First weekend
So today is the 3rd day of challenge skipping.I started several days before to get my body prepared... well to coordinate myself.
I can confirm that i have have done all 3 days I completed my 100 skips (100 tand 5 tonight as I was on a roll) with my longest streak being 22skips before being tangled.
Indoors is a bit more challenging.
And tonight was the first night I have not required my reliever for my asthma.
