Why Iām Supporting Jeans for Genes
JEANS FOR GENES DAY 2025
Thursday the 7th of AugustĀ
We are raising money for the Jeans for Genes day charity again this year, as a dedication to our beautiful little girl Ava.Ā
This will be the 4th year now that we have supported this amazing cause, raising thousands of dollars in our journey so far.Ā
22q deletion syndrome / Di George Syndrome is a genetic disorder. In children with this syndrome, a tiny piece of chromosome 22 is missing.Ā
For Ava this has meant ongoing feeding issues, hearing loss, aspiration risks, developmental delays, Speech delays, Cerebral Palsy, Scoliosis, low tone, heart problems, low immunity, neurological disorders and epilepsy amongst other things, all these things require regular specialist appointments and therapies.
Our Ava is the strongest and bravest little girl.Ā Those who know Ava personally know how magical her presence is, she lights up the room with her infectious smile and gorgeous little personality; with this and her sheer determination she inspires everyone around her.
Most children with Di George Syndrome are missing approximately 40 genes. Researchers donāt yet know the exact function of many of these genes
Letās help these researchers! And other children just like Ava.
Thereās lots of work to do, but there is also lots of hope.
