DEBRA was founded in 1978 by Phyllis Hilton whose daughter Debra had EB – the charity was the world’s first EB patient support group. 

 

Our vision:

We have a vision of a world where no one suffers from the painful genetic skin blistering condition, EB.

 

DEBRA focuses its work in two areas:

  • We fund pioneering research to find effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for EB.
  • We provide care and support to improve the quality of life for individuals and families living with EB.
