We are so excited that young adults at the #XPFSG National Conference will be touring @WichitaState and will hear from their Disabled Student Services director, a university professor, and a student with XP about planning for and attending college with XP! #XPYA#ThisisXP
2014 Documentary "Hidden From Light" follows San Diego dermatologist (and XPFSG medical advisor) Bari Cunningham on a humanitarian trip to a remote Guatemalan village to treat XP children. WARNING: Video includes graphic medical images. vimeo.com/98195429#ThisIsXP
XP has no FDA-approved, insurance-covered treatments, and UV-protection expenses make XP a huge financial burden. Your tax-deductible gift to #XPFSG leverages our ability to connect families with resources and researchers with families. Please donate at xpfamilysupport.org.
Want to protect your hands from damage? Our long-time friends and supporters FOXGLOVES (@glovesulove) have a full line of super-soft gloves (and hats!) for all your Spring gardening! And of course XP-safe gloves as well! foxglovesinc.comfoxglovesinc.com/collections…#xpfsg
Wonder what an XP dermatology visit is like? Follow along with our friends, XP patient Graycen and her mom Kim in this clip from The Doctors. Bonus: Guest appearances by XP physician Bari Cunningham and XPFSG Executive Director @MicheleMilota! #ThisisXPyoutube.com/watch?v=r2QqNiFi…
Planning for the XPFSG National Medical Conference is underway! What topics would you like to see in addition to medical/research updates? XPYA Young Adult Meetup topics & outing ideas? What do your kids want to do at Firefly Kids Camp? Let us know! contact@xpfamilysupport.org
With protection, kids with XP go to school and do many of the same activities as their friends. The downside? It can get very hot, and sometimes people make fun or think they are wearing a costume. We think young @amilota27 & Graycen look adorable--and safe! #ThisisXP#XPFSG
The release of @MidnightSun_Mov has inspired one of our college-aged friends, Paris, to compose this beautifully-written post to share her thoughts about her XP with others. Thank you for shining a light on XP, Paris! #ThisIsXP@OpenRoadFilms#XPFSG (shared with permission)
So wonderful of you to invite Amy to the premiere!! She will be a great date and an excellent representative for @XPFSG. Thanks for helping to bring awareness to this very rare disease and the rest of us living with XP on a daily basis!
