The challenge is in full swing! πŸ”οΈπŸ’™

Graeme Souness CBE and team have successfully summited Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, and are now making the descent after completing the first peak of their toughest challenge yet for DEBRA UK.

Despite the miles already covered and the challenge that still lies ahead, there are plenty of smiles on faces. One of the most special moments of the day came when Albi, who lives with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), took the mountain train to the summit to meet his dad Calum, who is taking on all 3 Peaks, and cheer on the team as they reached the top.

Seeing Albi's smile at the summit was a powerful reminder of why this challenge matters. Every step taken across these three mountains is for people living with EB, to help fund vital research and bring us closer to a world where nobody has to live with the pain of this devastating condition.

Next up: Scafell Pike ⛰️

Over the next two days, the team will take on the highest peaks in England and Scotland, covering hundreds of miles and pushing themselves to their limits in support of the EB community.

With one peak complete and two still to climb, every mile covered brings us closer to our Β£500,000 target to fund an EB clinical trial and help .

πŸ’™ What is EB?

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare and incredibly painful genetic skin condition that causes the skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch. For people living with EB, everyday activities can be as painful as third-degree burns.

EB doesn't just affect the skin – it can also impact internal organs, mobility, nutrition, and overall quality of life.
At DEBRA UK, we're working to improve the lives of people living with EB today and fund research to help find effective treatments for tomorrow.
