DebRA

Charity Registration No. 1084958

EB - Epidermolysis Bullosa - is a genetic condition where the skin breaks at the slightest touch, causing painful, open blisters and wounds. EB can mean a life of extreme pain, disability and, at its worst it is fatal in infancy. People with severe EB are likely to contract a fatal skin cancer. DebRA provides specialist EB nursing, funds extensive medical research and provides counselling, welfare, respite and advocacy.

My story

Finished!

Firstly, thank you so much to everyone who has given so far. This page will stay open for a few weeks more so I'm more than happy to take any more donations - if you want to that is!

Yesterday was fantastic - from the last minute donations to all those who turned out to support.

I completed the 10m in 1:32:57 which totally beat my target of "Tuesday" and even my great expectations of sub 1:45 were realised.

I can only wonder what the future will hold, but I am not really very agile this morning (Monday) and hopefully will try and enjoy the day off. Then again, been up since 5am with Joan, so it looks like I'm getting no sympathy from the grass routes.

Thanks again.

If you still want to donate, just remember that if it wasn't for this excellent charity, both Michelle and I would have a tougher time coping with the challenges that EB throws at us. Although the kids don't suffer in the same way as some others do, they still suffer and the more we can raise for them to help the cause, the better.

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a very rare genetic condition in which the skin and internal body linings blister at the slightest knock or rub, causing painful, open wounds. Both Grace and Freddie have suffered from this condition since birth and it really is a horrible thing to have to live with. The money raised will aid the treatment of and research into EB. In time, who knows! But we hope that this money will afford Grace and Freddie an easier life, eventually.
