The debra Impact Network provides the opportunity for people directly affected by EB to take action to better the lives of all those suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa.
Through education, advocacy, and outreach, Network Members join debra of America in their mission to accelerate research and create real improvements for all those living with this disease.
What does participation look like?
Network members offer hope and inspiration to those fighting EB by speaking about their experiences, promoting EB awareness, and sharing up-to-date information on EB care and research. Members serve as a visible presence within their communities on behalf of debra of America, and may contribute to various projects, initiatives and events throughout the year!
Who can join?
Any individual with EB or a family member directly impacted by EB who is passionate about debra of America’s mission can join the debra Impact Network.
