Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page on iDonate.ie.

For those of you who don't have time to read all of the info on the page, please take a quick peek at Claudia Scanlon's interview on the Late Late Show last year: Late Late Show Appearance

This is year 14 (I think!) of my participation in the Kerry Challenge. In that time, a lot of things have changed:

• Corona Virus pandemic has come (and mostly gone)
• Notre Dame Cathedral burnt down
• Flight MH370 disappeared
• and many more major events including a change of colour from the ubiquitous blue for everything Debra to brown for their main branding (the jury's still out!!!)

One thing that hasn't changed in all that time is the suffering caused by EB. For those who don't know what EB is: (more info here: What is EB) 

•             Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a distressing and painful genetic skin condition that causes the skin layers and internal body linings to separate.

•             It causes a breakdown in the natural proteins that hold the skin together. The slightest touch can cause severe pain, blistering and sores.

•             The skin blisters have to be lanced and dressed every day and this can take up to three hours.

•             EB has been described by a Consultant Dermatologist in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital as “easily the most debilitating and devastating disease I have ever seen.”

•             EB is currently incurable.
