The event is being held to support people suffering from the disease of Epidermolysis Bullosa, also known as E.B. Epidermolysis Bullosa is a rare genetic connective tissue disorder that leaves a person with extremely fragile skin. it effects 1 in 20,000 babies are diagnosed with the disorder and there is currently no cure for treatment. The Debra Of America foundation seeks to change that however.

You can register now for the dash4debra on the dash4debra website. If you use the limited time promo code WEFIGHTEB, registration for the race is only $12. After that, the fee goes up to $15, but that registration fee does include a T-shirt and race bibs.

The race will benefit Debra Of America to support helping find a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa.
