JEANS FOR GENES DAY is a major fundraiser for the Children's Medical Research Institute.
Chances are you probably know someone who has a genetic disease, because one in twenty children are born with some form of genetic fault. There are children with leukaemia, muscular dystrophy, genetic defects and many other disorders. The scientists at the Children’s Medical Research Institute are working to try to prevent these diseases before they occur in our children, or where that is not possible to develop better treatments.
Oatley Lions have been keen supporters of this project to help eradicate childhood cancers, and have contributed over $12,500 during the past 10 years.
