Actors Courteney Cox and David Arquette, have co-designed a necklace with a butterfly, a symbol for hope and freedom, etched onto a small silver pendant, to benefit the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation (EBMRF). The necklace on sale at SATYA boutique in New York and online at www.satyajewelry.com

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a genetic condition that causes skin and linings to break and blister at the slightest touch. Sufferers battle daily with fluid loss and infection of the open wounds. In worst cases, they’ll die of skin cancer before the age of 40, many in infancy.

This rare skin disease is affecting someone near and dear to both David and Courteney prompting them to get involved with EBMRF. and buy the necklace for yourself or as a gift, it not only looks good but it’s for a good cause.
