We need your help to raise £3million to fund research, much needed equipment and those trips and treats that can transform the lives of children and their families.

This year we want you to GENErate in 2008!  And as our theme for this year is 'through the generations' we want the whole family to be involved.

Families are not only who we inherit our genes from, it's their love and support which is needed when a child is diagnosed with a genetic disorder.

So get the GENErations to GENErate lots of money for GENEtic disorders!  (Do you see what we’ve done there?!)
