What a day on the course! ⛳

This past Sunday, supporters came together for Par for a Purpose: The debra Golf Classic in Scottsdale, AZ. The desert wind made every swing a challenge, but it couldn’t slow down our golfers, including EB Community members and sisters Kathryn and Carly Rasmussen.

We also presented two Jouni Uitto Impact Awards, to the Phoenix Children's EB Clinic and Dr. Andrew South, for their impact on EB care and research.

A special thank you to the event's generous sponsors: Pilot Thomas Logistics , Abeona Therapeutics Inc , Stage Analytics, Brightly Property Care, and GoldBook Financial .

"I'm running the TCS New York City Marathon because I believe 'the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.' There's power and strength when we join together. Many need help, healing, and something to cling to in a time of need. We're better together than apart. Thank you to debra and the entire EB Community. Let's stand together!"

"EB will only be a part of your child's story, not their whole story." – Ashley & Ricky Lynch 🦋

When Leah was diagnosed with EB as a newborn, her parents worried about everything it might take from her. Instead, she has shown them again and again how much joy and love she has to give.

Ashley and Ricky had wanted to host a walk for years, but it always felt overwhelming. Last year, they took the leap, and seeing their community show up for Leah encouraged them to do it again.

Join the Lynch family on Saturday, November 7 in Lake Butler, FL for Hope in Her Footsteps: Leah's 2nd Annual Walk for EB Awareness. 💜
