In partnership with one of our customers, Vanessa Jones of Black Bear Investment Group, FleetCrew recently provided support 4×4 rental vehicles to DEBRA Australia. The event was for their ultimate off road motorcycling adventure to raise funds for the national EB Nurse Program.
FleetCrew Support for Debra Australia
What is Debra Australia and EB?
DEBRA (Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association) Australia is a not for profit volunteer based organisation that does not receive any direct Government funding. One of the key objectives of Debra Australia is to educate and support families living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare disease whereby the skin blisters and peels at the slightest touch. Living with EB has been likened to living with third-degree burns. It is very painful, and sufferers must be bandaged every day with dressings to protect and medicate their wounds.
