This year, Jeans for Genes Day is 7th August across Australia and provides an opportunity to support the Children’s Medical Research Institute to help find cures for genetic diseases affecting children. Genetic diseases are serious conditions caused, at least partly, by changes in DNA. They can be inherited or happen unexpectedly due to chance occurrences.

“1 in 20 kids face a birth defect or genetic disease, and 30% of children’s hospital admissions are due to genetic disorders.”

Many of these genetic diseases are poorly understood and have no specific treatments or cures. Supporting Jeans for Genes Day allows the Children’s Medical Research Institute to continue their research into treatments and cures.

Get involved this August by:

• Making a donation
• Volunteering with the organisation
• Spreading awareness of Jeans for Genes Day
