Raising Money On Jeans For Genes Day At Get Your Mobi

Friday 22^nd 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.
