My story
This October, I’ll be taking on the challenge of a lifetime—hiking Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for DEBRA, the charity dedicated to supporting those affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
This cause is deeply personal to me because my son, Ollie, lives with EB, a painful and life-altering condition that makes even the simplest movements a challenge. EB, often referred to as "Butterfly Skin," causes the skin to tear and blister at the slightest touch, turning everyday activities into obstacles of endurance and resilience.
Ollie faces his condition with incredible courage, and his strength is what inspires me to take on this challenge. If he can fight through the pain every single day, I can push myself to climb 5,895 meters to the top of Africa’s highest peak. Every step I take up that mountain is for him and for every other person living with EB.
Why DEBRA?
DEBRA provides vital care and support for EB patients and their families while funding research to find effective treatments and, one day, a cure. But they can’t do it alone—this is where we can make a difference together.
How You Can Help
I’m aiming to raise as much as possible to support DEBRA’s life-changing work. Every donation, big or small, will help provide essential medical supplies, research funding, and family support services for those living with EB.
If you’d like to support my Kilimanjaro climb and help make life easier for people like Ollie, please consider donating.
Your generosity will not only help me reach the summit, but more importantly, it will bring us one step closer to a world where no one has to suffer from EB.
Thank you for your support—it truly means the world to me and my family. 💙🏔️
