Bolton mum appeals for birthday cards for son with rare skin disorder
Last updated 5th Sep 2019
A Bolton mum, whose son suffers with a rare and painful skin condition, is appealing for help to try and raise her son's spirits.
Tanya Williams wants you to send birthday cards to 13-year-old Rhys Williams, who has suffered with epidermolysis bullosa for his whole life and is now confined to a wheelchair.
It's after he told her 'I've had enough of life'.
Sometimes referred to as “butterfly skin”, it's a group of genetic conditions resulting in easy blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Its severity can range from mild to fatal.
Lots of people are already on board and spreading the word to help make Rhys' 14th birthday - 21st September - a truly special day.
Cards can be sent to Rhys at 40 Whalley Avenue, Bolton, BL1 5UD
