Welcome! Your Jeans for Genes Fundraising Toolkit

Jeans for Genes Day Friday, 7th August

Fundraise at work!

By generously signing up to raise money through Jeans for Genes, you’re directly helping Children’s Medical Research Institute to find cures and treatments for children’s genetic diseases, like metabolic disorders, autism, blindness—and even cancers.

Genetic diseases affect more children than most people realise.

1 in 20 kids is born with birth defect or

genetic disease.That’s one in every classroom! You likely know and care about someone living with a genetic disease.

Genetic diseases are one of the leading causes of death in kids under four and the main cause of ongoing hospitalisation. We are determined to improve these statistics for future generations. We cannot find the cures without medical research, and we cannot fund the research without your support.

Jeans for Genes Day is officially held on Friday, 7th August, but you can hold your Jeans for Genes Day anytime.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A SUPPORTER OF JEANS FOR GENES

Charlize and her twin brother, Isaac, were born with a genetic condition known as Propionic Acidemia, with no known cure. Mum, Julie, thought their situation was hopeless.

Within two years, she had lost her only son, and Charlize needed two liver transplants to survive. But when Julie heard that Charlize’s liver cells were being used by scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) to investigate how gene therapy could save the lives of future generations—she was filled with hope.

YOU’RE HELPING KIDS LIKE CHARLIZE

“CMRI is trying to get to the point where, instead of children with

Propionic Acidemia needing a risky liver transplant, they could be cured

by a simple injection,”

“Gene therapy can edit or replace a faulty or missing gene, and children can go on to have a happy, normal life, before there is damage to their heart or brain—that’s what takes the biggest toll on their bodies.

“Supporting this research means so much to our family.’’

Paul, Charlize, Julie and Amelia Gravina
