LauraLynn Fundraising Executive Ciara Donnelly shares why this challenge is so important: "Funds raised from the ‘100 Skips a Day’ challenge help us to provide life changing care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families all around Ireland. We are asking people to raise funds through sponsorship and take some time out of their day to do their 100 skips a day in April.”

Skipping is ideal for all fitness levels and improves cardiovascular health, burns calories, enhances coordination, and strengthens muscles. Participants can take part anywhere they like, either alone or in a group.

Participants can share their experiences and photos on social media using the hashtag #TeamLauraLynn and join the dedicated Facebook group to connect with others taking part in the challenge.
