After watching Children in need, we sat and cried when we saw the story about Harry and Cody Churchill who had Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) which is an inherited connective tissue disease causing blisters in the skin and mucosal membranes, with an incidence of 1/50,000. It is a result of a defect in anchoring between the epidermis and dermis, resulting in friction and skin fragility. Its severity ranges from mild to lethal.

Julia's House is Dorset's only hospice dedicated to children with life-limiting conditions. The majority of the children we care for are unlikely to live beyond the age of 18.  Complementing the work of the Julia's House Community Team, which consists of nurses and carers who travel the county, the children's hospice provides life-changing support for families both in their own homes and in the hospice itself.  Receiving less than 10 per cent of our funding from the Government, Julia's House relies on the Dorset community to help raise the remainder of our required income.  In 2013, we estimate that it will cost nearly £3.4m to continue to provide our vital services.
