👖 It’s Jeans for Genes Day – a powerful reminder of the impact that genetic conditions can have on children and their families, and a chance to support groundbreaking research that brings hope for a healthier future. 💙
Every year, 1 in 20 Aussie kids is born with a genetic condition. These conditions can affect nearly every part of a child’s life - from how their body grows and moves, to how they see, hear, learn, and thrive. 🧬👶
Genetic conditions can be complex, lifelong, and deeply personal. Families often face challenges with feeding, development, communication, mobility, learning, and medical care.
That’s where Jeans for Genes steps in. By funding the incredible work of the Children’s Medical Research Institute, this campaign supports vital research to better diagnose, treat, and one day even cure childhood genetic conditions. 🔬❤️
In our clinic, we see firsthand the strength and resilience of children living with genetic conditions – and the difference early support, intervention, and research can make. By providing multidisciplinary care from speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and dietetics, we work together to make a difference in the lives of these children and their families.
🧪 Did you know? Genetic research has already led to breakthroughs in gene therapy, cancer treatment, and early diagnosis of inherited diseases – helping more kids live longer, healthier lives.
