The road to a cure is built by people who refuse to stop. Graham’s Gang is proof. 💗
This year’s #GratefulforGraham 5K brought Graham’s Gang together once again to run, walk, give, and show what it means to fight for a future without EB.
To Graham, his family, the Utica Roadrunners, and every runner, walker, sponsor, volunteer, donor, and supporter, thank you for turning love into action.

And just like that… our final Plunge of the season is complete! 🌊💙
Last weekend, the Rippole Family and the Pittsburgh Plunge for Patterson community ended the #PlungeForElodie season with an incredible splash, tripling their fundraising goal for EB Research Partnership.
What a way to close out the season. Thank you, Pittsburgh, for showing up, diving in, and making waves for EB research.
The season may be complete, but the mission continues. Help us fund the research that brings us closer to a cure at plungeforelodie.org.

Meet the scientific minds helping guide us closer to a cure for EB.
EBRP’s Scientific Advisory Board brings together leading doctors, researchers, and experts who help review, shape, and strengthen the research we fund.
Their insight helps ensure donor dollars move toward the projects with the greatest potential to change life for people living with EB.
Breakthrough science needs more than funding. It needs the right people asking the right questions and pushing the field forward with urgency.
Thank you to our SAB for helping guide the path ahead.

Some partners help you make content. Others help you carry a mission.
Since 2018, Door Knocker Media has helped EBRP share EB stories with heart, honesty, and purpose. Today, we’re celebrating 3 @TellyAwards for our PSA featuring Eddie Vedder and Rowan Holler.
More than the awards, we’re celebrating the people behind every frame. We love you, Matt, Karen, and everyone at DKM. 🦋 Thank you for helping the world see EB more clearly and helping this community feel seen.

“The more people you meet, the more you want to help.”
Robbie Twible sat down with Dr. Jeff Heddles, the donor behind our Matter of Time $1 Million Match, to talk about what inspired him to step forward for the EB community and why he believes so deeply in EBRP’s mission.
We’re now 90% there, and the final 10% matters. The sooner we raise the remaining funds, the sooner we unlock Jeff’s full $1 million and help accelerate even more EB research projects, clinical trials, and progress toward treatments and cures.
100% of every donation goes directly to research.

Robbie Twible sat down with Dr. Jeff Heddles, the donor behind our Matter of Time $1 Million Match, to ask what inspired him to step forward for the EB community.
His answer reminds us what this match is really about... belief, urgency, and the chance to move research faster.
Our match is now 80% complete, but the final 20% matters. It could help support 6–7 new EB research projects, up to half of a Phase 1 clinical trial, and faster progress toward treatments and a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa.

On May 20, 1747, a ship's surgeon named James Lind gave oranges and lemons to sailors dying of scurvy and conducted what is considered the first randomized clinical trial in history. He didn't know it then, but he changed medicine forever.
Today, International Clinical Trials Day honors that legacy. And for the EB community, it's a moment to reflect on how far clinical research has come.
When EBRP was founded in 2010, there were just 2 active EB clinical trials in the world. Sixteen years later, there have been over 50. Of the active trials today, EBRP-supported research represents a third, spanning gene therapy, wound care, ocular treatments, and AI-assisted cancer detection across 25 clinical trial sites worldwide.
That research leads to real breakthroughs. VYJUVEK™, the first topical, redosable gene therapy in history, was FDA-approved for Dystrophic EB in 2023, supported in part by EBRP's early investment. ZEVASKYN®, approved in 2025, followed the same path; EBRP-backed Stanford science that became the first cell therapy approved for RDEB wounds. The returns from both were reinvested 100% into new EB research. This is how our gifts compound. This is how we get to the next one.
From a ship in the English Channel to two FDA-approved breakthroughs for EB, this is what belief in the science looks like!

We are approaching one year since #MatterOfTime premiered at @Tribeca. 🦋
What followed, a global theatrical run, a Netflix release, millions of viewers moved to do more, became a movement.
Now we move with them, and for those with Epidermolysis Bullosa.
#MatterOfMiles is a global virtual run/walk for everyone who refuses to stand still in the face of urgency.
June 12–28. Pick your mileage. Rally your people. Help turn movement into a cure. Lace up with us.

Last week, EBRP CEO, Michael Hund was invited to speak at the @MilkenInstitute Global Conference, one of the most influential cross-sector convenings in the world, where capital, policy, science, and culture meet. Innovative global leaders across finance, health, philanthropy, government, and entertainment gather to drive global impact and action. EBRP was proud to join other innovators like Dr. Jill Biden, @pitbull, Eva Longoria @EvaLongoria, Tiffany Haddish @TiffanyHaddish, Tom Brady @TomBrady, Lionel Ritchie , @SHAQ, FDA Commissioner @MartyMakary, and other world-changing global leaders.
Michael was invited to join "Rewriting the Rules: Scaling Innovation for Rare Diseases," a panel that brought together some of the most influential voices in rare disease today, or as Michael said, "The Rare Disease Avengers". Moderated by Becky Quick of CNBC, who shared her own journey as the mother of a child with SYNGAP disorder, the panel featured @DavidFajgenbaum (Every Cure), Nicola Blackwood (@GenomicsEngland ), Neil Kumar (@BridgeBioPharma ), and Will Lewis (@Insmed).
This is the kind of platform where EB Research Partnership's model belongs. Urgent patient need, breakthrough science, and catalytic capital converging to change what is possible. This week's conversation was a powerful reminder of both the scale of the challenge and the urgency of the moment. About 400 million people worldwide live with a rare disease. Only 5% have access to any approved treatment. And yet, we are at a genuine inflection point, driven by AI, genomics, platform-based therapies, and a new generation of funding models that are beginning to close the gap.
Michael shared our Venture into Cure's model, combining data platform innovation and investments in AI, collaborative research/ medical/ industry networks, and venture philanthropy deal structures that return capital to fuel the next breakthrough. An unprecedented model that has now helped accelerate three FDA approvals in two years. That model was built for exactly the kind of cross-sector stage that Milken represents. For the millions living with rare diseases that have never had a treatment, this is not incremental progress. It is a fundamental rewriting of the rules. And it is scalable.
For EBRP, being in that room is not just an honor. It is an affirmation that our approach belongs in the conversation about how the world solves rare disease. Patient-led. Capital-efficient. Scientifically rigorous. We are grateful to the Milken Institute and @fastercures, a Center of the Milken Institute for the platform, and to every patient, family, researcher, and partner whose trust makes this work possible.
🦋 The rules are being rewritten. We intend to help continue to write them.

The world is plunging and Costa Rica went all in from the waterfalls of Bajos del Toro! 🇨🇷
One of our global Plunge for Elodie communities showed up in a big way for kids with EB. It’s a reminder that this movement has reached every corner of the world, united by one mission.
This plunge is powered by the @EliksaTx Therapeutics team, where EB Research Partnership has invested over $1.1M to help develop ELK-003, a first-of-its-kind eye drop designed to protect EB patients from corneal abrasions that can lead to blindness. With a clinical trial already underway and efficacy shown in preclinical models, the science is moving forward and every plunge, in every corner of the world, helps to make it all possible.
Thank you Eliksa for jumping in and showing up for families living with EB every single day. 💙
