Playing In The Dark For Children With Rare Genetic Disorder
February 23, 2011
Children with a rare skin condition are getting help through a unique play scheme that allows them to play outside at night when most playgrounds and facilities are closed.
Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is a genetic disorder that causes extreme sensitivity to the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
The scheme is an opportunity for XP sufferers to get together with each other outside in a safe environment.
Facilities provided by the group include a special coating on playground and football pitch floodlights.
