Why I’m doing Jeans for Genes' Wear Your Jeans

We are raising money for Jeans for Genes in honour of our daughter Polly who was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition at the age of 2. 

Polly has a condition called Congenital Myasthenia, it means her muscles fire at a slower rate than usual. Polly fatigues rapidly requiring daily medication and input from a range of allied health disciplines. 

Our family have been on the daunting road to finding a diagnosis and we are lucky to have one. Diagnosis had led to treatment and access to support to best help Polly along the way.

It is thanks to the incredible work of exceptionally hard working humans that these conditions are now able to be named and treated. 

We know times are tough out there but our family would be so grateful to anyone who is able pitch in and support Jeans for Genes. 1 in 20 kids are diagnosed with a genetic disease meaning a majority of us know someone who is impacted. 

Please support kids like Polly to have access to treatment for often complicated and uncommon conditions. 

Lots of Love, 

Simon, Katherine, Hazel and Polly <3>
