Jack Akehurst is raising money for DEBRA
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Ride Yorkshire · 11 August 2019

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The reason I'm raising money for Debra is that I have Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and I have first-hand experience as to the effects it can have on a daily basis.

I am fortunate that I don't have a life-threatening version and that I am still able to do most of the things I love, it restricts me but it certainly doesn't rule my life. I am cycling 100 miles for two reasons, one to push my limits and prove that EB doesn't stop me from doing what I love. Secondly, to raise money to support individuals and families who deal with all different types of EB.

As a further incentive, if I reach my target I will also shave my legs and become a "true" cyclist. If this happens, I will, of course, provide photographic evidence and share it with you all.

Thank you so much for your support.
