Jeans for Genes

It's fun, it's simple and it's a great cause! Jeans for Genes is a national appeal where everyone across the UK is asked to throw out the usual dress rules, jump into their jeans and donate £1 at schools or £2 at work to help children with genetic disorders. The monies raised go towards pioneering research to develop new treatments and provide advice and support services which bring great hope to many families.

Jeans for Genes Day, Friday 3 October 2008.
