News & blog News What a difference a ball of yarn can make Throughout November, we held our first virtual knitting challenge, and non-physical virtual challenge of its kind. The DEBRA November knitting challenge asked participants to knit every day, to help raise funds to #StopThePain of EB. There were some wonderful creations, from dog coats, to baubles, and a collection of 25 birds from a mini amigurumi bird book! The support our participants received was incredible and we are pleased to share that our wonderful community of knitters raised almost £7,000! This money will go towards our A Life Free of Pain appeal to help accelerate our drug repurposing programme and fund life-changing treatments. Thank you to those that joined and helped to raise crucial awareness of EB. Manage Cookie Preferences
