Hearing the diagnosis “Epidermolysis Bullosa” for the first time can leave families feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what comes next.

That’s why debra of America’s New Family Advocate Program exists. From emotional support to practical guidance, this program connects newly diagnosed families with a full support system . Families also receive a free care package filled with wound care supplies, educational resources, and comfort items.

And the impact is real: when we surveyed past participants, 100% said that the program reduced their stress. ❤️

“Even through all of this, Matthew is such a happy baby. We are over the moon and would not want him any other way.” 💛

Born with an open wound covering his entire left foot, Matthew was diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) within an hour of birth. Unaware of any family history of EB, his parents were quickly learning how to care for their newborn in a very unexpected way.

Living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) as an adult means managing more than day-to-day care. It's long-term decisions, changing needs over time, and the realities of navigating health, relationships, and life in general.

The 2026 debra Care Conference (DCC) brings these experiences into focus with sessions designed for adults living with EB at every stage. Topics include chronic wound management, pain and GI care, emotional wellbeing, anemia, SCC, surgery, and more.

Highlights include an Adults with EB panel discussion and Q&A on EB management and gaps in care, conversations on relationships and intimacy, and workshops tailored for young adults and adults 35+, along with open forums on physical activity and shared lived experience.

We hope to see you in Los Angeles this July.

Join at the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon in Minneapolis–St. Paul on Sunday, October 4! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Every mile run with TEAM DEBRA helps raise awareness and vital support for individuals and families living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare and painful disorder.

We’re inspired by runners like Byron Johnson (pictured), who joined our team in 2025 and shared:

“I love running. There is something about getting outside, moving, and breathing that brings me back to a place of gratitude for the life God has given to me... I love the Twin Cities Marathon because it brings so many people together, in unity. I’m excited to run for TEAM DEBRA. I hope my participation is an encouragement to those fighting EB.”

If you’ve been looking for a reason to run your next race, this is it! TEAM DEBRA has spots available for both the Marathon and the 10-Mile Race.
