Cure EB Family Day 2024

29 September, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Tickets are no longer available to pre-book. Please email [email protected] to enquire about additional spaces.

If you or a family member have EB, then join us for our Family Day Sunday 29th September at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London!

Cure EB Family Day is a free event for EB families to connect, have fun, and catch up on the latest EB research news.

Join us for lunch, and then while the adults hear from EB experts, the children will be entertained with games and crafts. There will also be plenty of time for tea and cake so that families can catch up with old friends and make some new ones!

We know that London isn’t convenient for everyone, so we have secured limited funding to help some with access and travel. If you live far away and would like to come please do get in touch early, so as not to miss out.
