Jeans for genes day!

The annual fundraising event that aims to support and improve the lives of children with genetic disorders is now in its 20th year! Funding Genetic Disorders UK, Jeans for Genes Day continues to be a great way of bringing everyone together to raise money and awareness - changing the world for children and families affected.

Schools, workplaces and nurseries all get involved and come up with new ways to raise money!

There are lots of limited edition t-shirts, denim bags, pins and badges available on the official Jeans for Genes website, so you can look the part while donating money to the charity!

What have you been up to for Jeans for Genes day today? We'd love to see your fundraising ideas!

We complete our 71 mile walk!

Last Friday all the team at Ellie Ellie completed the Midnight Walk in Brighton to raise money for the Martlets Hospice! The Martlets Hospice is absolutely brilliant, helping people live life fully and taking care of people across the whole of the local community. We were absolutely thrilled to be taking part in such a great fundraising event, and reached our target well before the event! Thank you to every body who donated to this special cause!

The first six miles of the walk went by pretty easily, and although 13 miles doesn't seem that far when walking, the last few miles of the walk were more challenging. It started pouring with rain for the last few miles which left us soaked through! But we did it and it felt great at the end of the walk to know that we had all challenged ourselves.

Here are some snaps from the night:

A few snaps while we were out walking:

Finally, soaked through, here is the team once we had finished the walk (and it was 5am and we were ready for bed)

Sponsor the Ellie Ellie team on our Midnight Walk!

The Ellie Ellie Team are embarking on a 13 Mile Midnight Walk this June to raise money for the Martlets Hospice! 

Being established in Sussex we are passionate about supporting our local charities and events and would like to raise as much money as possible for this great charity! If you are able to donate thank you so much for supporting us! We will keep you updated with our training progress and how our legs feel after the walk!

We are really motivated this year to support great local charities and doing our bit to support others. We were even more motivated to participate when we discovered that the Midnight Walk raised enough money last year to care for 2 patients in their own home, every day for a whole year. This year, we would be so honored if we could say we were a part of making such a huge difference to other peoples lives. 

Head over to our Ellie Ellie sponsorship page to take a look at our story and if you would like to donate, even just a small amount thank you so much!

We'll keep you updated on our training and progress!
