Summer Time Assistance

In the past few weeks, we’ve helped cover the windows of a child with XP, sent UV-safe clothing and gear to a newly diagnosed infant with CEP, and surprised a family with an indoor waterpark getaway after a long trip to see a specialist in Detroit.

Sun Escape Recap

This past May we built upon our inaugural success of our sun safe camp by increasing our total number of camp families, adding an extra day, hosting a lawn party at sunset, and celebrating the photosensitive hero within us all.

Waterpark Getaway

A sun safe weekend may seem small but for this XP family, it is a world of freedom. We surprised XP siblings Skylar and Kagen with an all expenses paid weekend at Great Wolf Lodge.
