Jeans for Genes has now finished

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.

Jeans for Genes Day is held on the first Friday of August each year; and it's fun and easy to get involved. It's a day where everyone can wear jeans and simply make a donation or buy a badge, whilst supporting a great cause: helping today's scientist for tomorrow's children.
