2. My daughter lives with a tracheostomy tube due to Epidermolysis bullosa. I hope the EB foundation could get enough funds to find a cure for this deadly disorder which cripples my angel in more than one way…

3. Pitt-Jolie are the neatest in the world! They are so hot and they share it with those in need, unlike all the other celebrities!
   They rock!

6. I want to thank you for supporting EB. I have had it all of my life and it runs in my family. I am 49 years old and I live in Alabama. Since you can inherit this thru giving birth, I chose to adopt instead. But my other family members have their children and it keeps being passed on from each generation. Right now it has effected 5 generations just in my family that I know about. I just went back to my grandmother but I am sure is was before her in our family. For those who do not know, EB is a very painful disease and it limits you to what you can do sometimes. Again, thanks to all of you who are trying to help and God Bless each one of you that have any type of EB.
