Ladies of Cork! We need you!

We are looking for as many people as possible to take part in this year's THE ECHO WOMEN'S MINI MARATHON on September 22nd for DEBRA Ireland.

DEBRA Ireland is a national Irish charity, established to provide support services to patients and families living with the debilitating skin condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

EB is a rare, genetic, skin blistering condition where even the gentlest of touch can cause devastating wounds, and effects patients both internally and externally. Children with EB, also known as Butterfly children, face an excruciating bandaging process every second day for most of their lives, which often has to be undertaken by their parents. And if this wasnt difficult enough, they face a high risk of developing aggressive skin cancer.

DEBRA has two main focuses - CARE and CURE
