Help stop the pain of EB

 

For Jasmine. For thousands of families like hers.

Every day, children and adults like 13-year-old Jasmine live with pain most of us can’t imagine.

Will you help bring hope of treatments to stop the pain by donating today? 

Jasmine has epidermolysis bullosa (EB), an incredibly painful genetic condition that causes her skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch.

Even gentle contact can cause wounds.

Infections are a constant fear.

Dressing changes can take hours and are agonising.

Imagine not being able to cuddle your own child when they’re crying in pain for fear of hurting them even more.

This is Jasmine’s reality. And it’s the reality for thousands of families across the UK.

But now there is real hope

Thanks to supporters like you, you are funding pioneering research focused on repurposing drugs that already exist for other skin conditions, to find treatments that could reduce pain and improve quality of life for people with all types of EB.

This approach is:

 

  • Faster than developing new drugs from scratch
  • More cost‑effective
  • Already showing real promise
  • All it takes is one treatment to change everything.

How your donation helps

Your gift today will help fund vital research that brings us closer to EB treatments and cures.

 

  • £25 could help fund an hour of research into potential EB treatments
  • £50 could help move a promising drug closer to clinical trials
  • £100 could support the specialist work needed to test treatments safely and quickly

Please donate today

Help children like Jasmine experience relief from pain for the first time.

 

Your donation could help change everything.
