How a Painful Sun-Related Condition Sparked a Purpose and a Calling | Craig Leppert

from My Hero 360 · host My Hero 360

In this informative interview, Kerri Fitzgerald talks with Craig Leppert, founder of Shadow Jumpers, who lives with a rare painful sun-related condition called erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP). The genetic condition is marked by an intense reaction to sunlight and other lights, challenging this Los Angeles-based founder to live purposefully while remaining mindful of sun and light exposure. Throughout this we highlight: • How Craig Leppert and his family finally received a diagnosis of erythropoietic protoporphyria and how they handled the news. • Learn about how Craig and his family came to navigate life with EPP. • How Craig founded Shadow Jumpers to provide important resources to the photosensitive condition community. • Be inspired by Craig’s camp for kids with photosensitive conditions that allows them to safely participate in activities like horseback riding, archery, and more.
