I’m fundraising in support of my son, Remy.

Why We’re Supporting Jeans for Genes

Did you know that 1 in 20 Aussie kids are born with a genetic disease or birth defect? That’s one in every classroom!

This year, we’re taking part in Jeans for Genes to help fund the incredible scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute, who are working today to find cures for tomorrow.

Your donation will help keep labs running, research advancing, and hope alive for kids who need it most.

Together, we can make a difference.

TFE3 - Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder is a very rare metabolic genetic mutation which causes intellectual disability, mobility issues, hypotonia, GI issues, seizures and in some pigmentary mosaicism.

There are currently around 60 diagnosed children, worldwide. 

My son Remy is living with this condition and he is the first child in Australia to be diagnosed. 

There is very little research in regards to this disorder, as it is newly recognised. 

Help me gather the attention we desperately need.
