jeans for genes day
anyone doing anything for this?
Go on, get denimised! It’s Jeans for Genes Day on Friday 5th October 2007 when the charity which gets millions of people to wear jeans is going for the ‘denimisation of the nation’!
The popular charity Jeans for Genes is asking everyone in the UK to wear their jeans to school or work on Jeans for Genes Day and to help children with genetic disorders. It’s so easy to take part. By registering online at www.jeansforgenes.com or by phoning the freephone number: 0800 980 4800 anyone can ‘get denimised’ and make a splash. In exchange for a contribution of £2 from adults and £1 from children, supporters have ‘permission’ to ditch the school uniform or work clothes and create a day of ‘denimised’ fun.
The twelfth Jeans for Genes Day aims to raise around £3million which will be spent on research into the causes, treatments and cures for genetic disorders in children as well as specialist nurses, respite care, information and holidays for families who are affected by inherited conditions. A genetic disorder can range from something easy to treat like a squint or a cleft lip to more challenging inherited conditions such as haemophilia, sickle cell and deafness.
Celebrity supporters including Jason Donovan, Emilia Fox, the cast of Hollyoaks and many others have got behind Jeans for Genes and are wearing the charity’s stickers on their back pockets.
