I am determined to help spread awareness and fundraise to fadvance the research for 'Butterfly Children" children and adults suffering from terrible genetic disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa. Here is a testimony of Jonathan suffering this disease: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuYxGtuBSgk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermolysis_bullosa. I am putting together marketing experts, and social evangelists to help me put together "My guilty pleasure" social challenge campaign to help spread the awareness about EB and Butterfly children. Join me to help!

Whenever I have time I draw, design and create cloths. I design shoes, would love to learn to do myself a first prototype and later produce and sell them. Seeing women in my shoes would be awesome :)
