​Join the Plunge for Elodie and help kids fight rare skin disorder

The 8th annual Plunge for Elodie is scheduled for March 22 at 10:30am at Wellesley’s Morses Pond to raise awareness and funds regarding the rare, life-threatening genetic skin disorder Epidermolysis Bullosa. More than 20 such events will be held across six countries with a fundraising goal of $600K. The Plunge for Elodie was created by 10 childhood friends of Elodie’s mom, Emily Kubik. Elodie was born in 2016 with a severe form of EB. Kids with EB are called “Butterfly Children” because their skin is as fragile as the wings of a butterfly. They face severe pain, open external and internal wounds, and a grueling daily bandaging process.
