There were some awesome events that took place over this past weekend...


Kinerase Skincare presents...CelEBration on the Pier, a benefit for the EB Medical Research Foundation hosted by Courtney Cox and hubby David Arquette, took place in Santa Monica on Saturday.

Such a fantastic cause. I'm a big supporter of DEBRA over here in Europe, it's great to see the profile of the condition being raised.

EBMRF and DebRA of America have connected to support "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" Relay-Rally for National Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week - our EB community's first national awareness.

In 2006, after extensive lobbying, Congress and the Senate enacted this awareness week in perpetuity, so this is a very special time for the EB community - this is a rare disorder, and most people have no idea of its many painful challenges.

If you want to participate on the secondary roads of the Relay by walking, running, biking, or attending a Rally in support of our awareness objectives at one of the eight Rallies across America, please see http://www.pr.com/press-release/39945 and check out the legislation and website for further information.
