Our first ‘EB to me’ story for #EBAwarenessWeek2020 is 14 year old Fazeel who has Recessive Dystrophic EB – one of 5 main types of a painful genetic skin condition causing the skin to tear and blister at the slightest touch.
In a recent poll, only 9% of people had heard of EB, and even fewer can explain what it is. Please share this post to help us raise awareness – the more people who know what EB is and the devastating effect it can have on families, the greater chance we have of finding treatments and a cure.
Please share your own #EBtome stories, either as a landscape clip from your phone, or as a comment below. Together we can #FightEB.
