Jeans for Genes on behalf of Emerson

Why We’re Proudly Supporting Jeans for Genes

Every parent dreams of a future where their child can thrive, grow, and be celebrated for exactly who they are. For us, that journey has come with some unexpected twists — and extraordinary strength.

Our son Emerson is one of a kind. Quite literally. Recent genetic testing has revealed that Emerson has a genetic condition so rare, it’s never been seen before in the world. One of his gene mutations has only been reported 23 times globally, and the other? Completely unique. There’s no road map for us — just love, learning, and a whole lot of hope.

That’s why Jeans for Genes means so much to us.

This incredible charity funds vital research into childhood genetic conditions, helping to unlock answers for families just like ours. Their work supports the scientists searching for treatments, the clinicians learning more every day, and the families trying to navigate unknown paths with courage and care.

By raising funds through bake sales, wearing our jeans with pride, and sharing our story, we’re joining a movement that’s about more than denim — it’s about hope.

Supporting Jeans for Genes means helping children like Emerson live longer, healthier, and happier lives. It means giving researchers the tools they need to make the unknown, known. It means saying, loud and clear, that every child — no matter how rare or complex their diagnosis — matters.

So, this year, we’re baking, donating, and showing up in blue. For Emerson. For the 1 in 20 kids facing a genetic condition. And for every family still searching for answers.

We’d love your support — whether it’s a gold coin, a cupcake, or simply helping us spread the word.

Because behind every rare diagnosis is a real child, a real family, and a future worth fighting for.
