About
Debra aims to inspire young people to become advocates for those living with epidermolysis bullosa (EB). EB is a group of incredibly painful genetic blistering condition that affects the body’s largest organ; the skin.
People living with EB are missing the essential proteins that bind the skin’s layers together, so any minor friction, movement or trauma causes it to break and blister.
As a Gaisce Challenge Partner, Debra provides various ideas and resources that can help you achieve the Community Involvement Challenge Area for your Gaisce Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award.
Whether you want to develop personal skills or make a positive impact in your community, we have plenty of opportunities for you to support people with EB.
