Story

5,000 people in the UK have Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). It is a painful genetic skin condition causing the skin to tear and blister at the slightest touch. This can make daily life very challenging. In its most severe form, EB can mean hours of dressing changes daily, fused fingers and toes and extreme itching and pain. Sadly, it can also be fatal.  UK has faced one of its toughest years in its history, but with your help they have been able to continue to provide vital services to the EB Community. Please help support my challenge so that an EB diagnosis doesn't have to mean a lifetime of pain and no one has to face EB alone. £126 could provide someone with EB 6 month's of community support and membership services - really making a difference to people's quality of life. #FightEBDEBRA are the only charity supporting the EB Community through grants to help members get access to food supplies, assisting with other financial issues, securing dressing supplies and supporting mental health and wellbeing. We have been able to adapt our services to help combat key issues of loneliness and anxiety, through new virtual support groups run by our crucial Support Team.
