This
RockArtifact was created
for an exceptional group of people. The children and adults with
Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP).
XP is the result of a genetic code that leaves persons with XP acutely sensitive
to ultra violet light; in particular, sunlight. Unlike many people who
sustain occasional sun damage, persons with XP are subject to a cumulative
effect, meaning that their DNA is such that their bodies do not repair the
damage. This can lead to very early onset of many life threatening diseases.
Please learn more about XP by visiting the
XP Society.
