The 'hooks' which attach the epidermis (top layer of your skin) to the dermis (the thicker deep layer of your skin) are absent which means the skin layers easily separate and continuously blister.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 69.3pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 11.5pt;">DEBRA funds 10 specialist EB nurses and 3 Social Care Managers to help children, adults and families affected by this cruel condition. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 69.3pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 69.3pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 11.5pt;">Over the next three years DEBRA wishes to commit significant funds to further their aim of finding lasting and effective treatments for all types of the condition. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 69.3pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 69.3pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: 11.5pt;">So please dig deep and support DEBRA by not only donating but by helping to create awareness of this cruel, painful and life threatening condition. </span></p> </div> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
