Jeans for Genes Day raises money for Genetic Disorders UK and aims to change the world for children with genetic disorders. Genetic disorders affect 1 in 25 children born in the UK
– that’s more than 30,000 babies each year. Their associated health problems mean that
genetic disorders are the biggest cause of death of children aged 14 years and under.

21 charities will benefit from the funds raised on Jeans for Genes Day 2013. New celebrity campaign supporters include Melanie C, Michelle Keegan, Louise Thompson, Lauren Goodger, Sophia Sassoon, Tallia Storm, and Amy Childs to name but a few.

Join Barclays and Amy Childs; show your support by donating £2 to Jeans for Genes Day
2013.
