let's support Jeans for Genes
As Part of Calvary’s being for other, I have signed us up to
Jeans for Genes to raise money for Children’s Medical Research Institute and
help save more kids’ lives. In support of Jeans for Genes. To support Jeans for
Genes, I encourage you to wear jeans on Friday 2 August 2024, and if possible,
consider donating to this important cause.
Here's
just one story explaining why this cause is so important:
Harrison
was a healthy, active child, until one day out of the blue, “He wasn’t quite
right, and then the next day he just stopped walking, and we knew something was
very wrong,” said his father, Adam.
Doctors
found something wrong with his blood, and when his parents were told it could
be leukaemia “everything stopped.” As terrifying as that word was for them to
hear, it got worse as Harrison’s case was unique, and it took many DNA tests to
determine he had acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). They were lucky to get the
right treatment after the right diagnosis, but it could have gone very
differently if that work had not been done.
“Medical
research is so important to get any answers for any genetic condition,” said
his mum, Naomi. “For Harrison, the research done prior to him getting sick is
what helped save our son. Research needs to continue so the next child
diagnosed with a rare form of AML or any cancer—it can help them.”
1
in 20 Aussie kids face a birth defect or genetic disease, like cancer. Most
people don’t know that cancer is caused by changes in genes—but almost everyone
will be touched by it. So, the research you and I support today may one day
help someone we know, someone in our family.
There’s
lots of work to do, but there is also lots of hope.
Wear jeans on Friday 2nd
August 2024 to show your support, share this message and donate if you can. Thank You!
