(21 September 2001)

The Durham University Charities Kommittee (DUCK) are inviting staff to take part in Jeans for Genes Day on Friday 5 October. Jeans for Genes is a national day appeal where everyone across the UK is invited to wear their jeans to work in exchange for just £1. Jeans for Genes is organised by five national charities to raise funds for research into serious and often life-threatening genetic disorders affecting thousands of children. Funds also help to fund valuable advice and support services for families. The target this year is to raise at least £2.5million.
