Raising Money On Jeans For Genes Day At Get Your Mobi Friday 22nd September represents Jeans for Genes Day and Get
Your Mobi have joined in to raise money for the charity and help people
diagnosed with genetic disorders. But what is the charity all about? There are between 4,000 and 6,000
diagnosed genetic disorders and it is estimated that one in every 25
children could be affected by one of these disorders – something everyone should help battle against .
What Are Genetic Disorders? A genetic disorder is a disease that has been caused by a
change or mutation in someone’s DNA. It affects nearly 30,000 new babies and
children across the UK every single year and whilst most disorders are apparent
at birth, it can appear at any stage of childhood or adulthood.
Genetic disorder can cause a range of diseases including
heart disease, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, cancer and obesity. Jean for Genes
Day raises money for disorder specific charities to deliver inspiring projects
and support services for children affected by genetic disorders.
The money will not only raise money for support, nursing and equipment
but also gives these children the chance to meet up at events and share their
own stories. There are several incredible projects that the day
funds and will continue to fund in the future.
Who’s Getting Involved & How Can You Help? There is a huge number of celebrities
and your favourite idols getting involved with Jeans for Genes day
