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

In February 2006 seven men from the north west will attempt the worlds toughest ultra marathon the 'Yukon Arctic Ultra'. 320 brutal miles across the frozen arctic north of Canada in temperatures as low as -50oC! The lads will not only have to put up with the freezing conditions and the thought of running at least 40 miles a day, but there is also the constant fear of disturbing the local Grizzly bear, Wolf or Moose (Which is allegedly the most dangerous!). They will sleep outside the whole time and be totally self sufficient during the race. The lads have one aim, that is to raise as much money as possiible for research into effective treatment for eb and raising awareness on behalf of Debra. Read more about the lads on their website www.tent67.co.uk .
