Day out for girl with rare skin condition
Alice Tyson, a 3-year-old in the U.K., has a rare condition that only affects one in a million people. It’s called Xeroderma Pigmentosum, which causes her skin to be permanently damaged and increases her risk of skin cancer if she is exposed to sunlight.
The little girl spends much of her time confined to the darkness of the family sitting room.
So dermatology nurse at the Cumberland Infirmary, Julie Bowman, decided the youngster more than deserved a grand day out.
She hit the phonebook and got in touch with businesses all over the city calling on them to pledge a treat for Alice.
She said: “A lot of local people have been so interested in Alice and I thought the family deserved something nice.
