DEBRA is the national charity supporting those directly affected by, and working with, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) – a potentially fatal skin condition that causes constant pain due to unstoppable internal and external blistering. DEBRA provides lifelong care and support to the entire EB community.

EB has affected my family for generations so I know first hand the pain and discomfort that is experienced and is the reason behind me running the marathon. My cousin, Melissa, passed away in 2018 after a lifetime of fighting EB. Melissa fought everyday with a smile on her face and is an inspiration to me.

Running the London Marathon is a huge challenge for me but it is nothing compared to the challenge that EB sufferers face everyday. I am running this for all EB sufferers and Melissa.

Together we #FightEB and together we will beat EB.
