Jeans for Genes raises funds for research into serious genetic disorders affecting thousands of children, as well as valuable support services and advice for families.
In the UK, one baby in every 33 is born with a genetic disorder or birth defect - that's one born every 30 minutes whose life could be affected. In 2006, Jeans for Genes will be benefiting 10 national charities, including Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, SPARKS and WellChild.
You can support any UK registered charity, including the University of Edinburgh.
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations and you can easily change your nominated charity or the amount you are giving at any time. If your chosen charity is not listed on the online donation form or it is a specific area within the University of Edinburgh, you can still support them. Just make sure to include their name and charity number on the form
