Jeans For Genes day

Written by After

What is Jeans for Genes?
Jeans for Genes is a major fundraiser of the Children's Medical Research Institute.
This includes Jeans for Genes Day, events, exhibitions and other FUNdraising events throughout the year.

Chances are you probably know someone who has a genetic disease, because one in twenty children are born with some form of genetic fault. There are children with leukaemia, muscular dystrophy,  genetic defects and many other disorders. The scientists at the Children’s Medical Research Institute are working to try to prevent these diseases before they occur in our children, or where that is not possible to develop better treatments.

Thats the little blurb on the Jeans for Genes day website to give you a quick run down on

what the deal is and what it is about.

This is a most worthy cause to support, so if you see the little box of stuff on the counter of the next shop you are in, chuck in a few dollars or buy a badge. Even though we live in a world which is so scientifically advanced there are still so many questions which cannot be answered.

Hopefully there will be a day that when a mother is told her baby has a genetic problem they will go on to tell her how it can be cured, because at the moment there are very few options, and has a massive impact on many lives.

So wear your jeans on August 7th, and buy a badge, or volunteer your time.
