The Edmonds family is on a heartfelt mission to raise awareness about their daughter Harper Foy's rare skin disorder, a condition that significantly impacts her everyday life. At just 9 years old, Harper is an active child, often seen running around the soccer field, yet her disorder poses unique challenges that can hinder her participation in activities. Her father, Kevin Foy, emphasizes the importance of educating the community about rare skin conditions, which are often misunderstood.

Their efforts are not only focused on Harper but also seek to connect with other families who face similar health issues, fostering a sense of solidarity.

The Foy family's campaign underscores the critical role that community support plays in navigating health challenges and the need for greater awareness of rare diseases. Through local events and personal storytelling, they hope to create a more inclusive environment for children with such conditions.
