Wild Rover Tours is announcing a partnership with Debra, a charity dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by epidermolysis bullosa, a genetic and incurable condition that makes skin as fragile as a butterfly’s wing.
Hello Wild Rover Explorers,
Exciting news is on the horizon. Wild Rover Tours is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Debra, a phenomenal charity dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a genetic and incurable condition that makes skin as fragile as a butterfly’s wing.
A Shared Commitment to Make a Difference
At Wild Rover Tours, we understand the importance of community and making a positive impact. We pledged a donation of 50,000 euros to Debra, reaffirming our commitment to supporting their work.
John’s Vision for the Partnership
Our Managing Director, John, is enthusiastic about this collaboration, emphasizing the need for collective action to create awareness and support for those living with EB, caring for someone with EB or bereaved by EB. While we don’t have a specific ambassador, our entire team is dedicated to raising awareness and making a real difference in the lives of those affected by this condition.
Understanding epidermolysis bullosa (EB)
Imagine if your skin was as fragile as a butterfly wing. If it broke, tore and blistered at the slightest touch. If you had skin that took four hours every day to bandage to keep you alive. Or skin that would not allow you to walk without your feet splitting and burning.
This is the skin of someone living with EB, a genetic disorder 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.
It’s debilitating. Excruciating. Relentless. A disease with no known cure.
