Support for Butterfly Children

29.11.2012

The staff at FIMBank plc recently donated the sum of €2,000 to Butterfly Children, a philanthropic organization which aims at raising awareness about Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a group of genetic disorders that result in fragility of the skin and, in some cases, other internal membranes and organs. Certain types of EB can be fatal in infancy and others are severely life-limiting.

The sum contributed by the FIMBank staff, along with those presented by other donors during an awareness and fund-raising dinner organised recently by Butterfly Children, will go towards EB related research. Butterfly Children is affiliated to DEBRA, a worldwide network of national groups working on behalf of those affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa.
