A very rare disease is the focus of a global campaign this week.
Wednesday marks the start of EB Awareness Week.
EB Simplex is a blistering skin condition, and one of the most painful conditions known to modern medicine today.
Debra International, a group founded to raise awareness of the disease, says it wants to create a “butterfly effect” where small gestures have larger effects.
The group is selling butterfly pins to raise awareness of EB — the pins are $5, or 3 for $10.

Use the hashtags #releaseyourbutterfly, #ebawareness #debracanada.
EB Awareness Week runs through to Halloween.
