Virgin London Marathon 2013 · 21 April 2013 ·

DEBRA is the national charity that supports individuals and families affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) – a painful genetic skin blistering condition which, in the worst cases, can be fatal. We fund pioneering research and provide care and support to individuals and families living with EB.

Story

So I have ran two half marathons and I am now taking on the huge challenge of running the London Marathon. Yes I am crraaaaazy! But the charity Debra is very important to me; a friend of my sister and I has this rare skin disease and I hope with the money raised will hope to find a cure.

DEBRA's current research priorities are to:

  • Work towards the development of gene therapy
  • Understand the nature of cancer in recessive dystrophic EB
  • Understand the nature of wound healing in EB
  • Improve the management of EB through clinical research

I hope to organise a pub quiz (forseeable future) a bake sale (my sister seriously is a baking goddess) as well as some music ventures all in hopes to raise as much money as possible. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

So please, sponsor me as I take on this challenging journey!
