b'The nonprofit XP Society provides families with support and information needed to help their children suffering from Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) or other life-threatening sun-sensitivity disorders. XP easily causes skin and eye cancers so families must be very careful about lighting. Caren Mahar, Executive Director and Co-founder with husband Dan of the Society, describes the special accommodations needed, including tinted windows and dimmed incandescent lighting, because even sunlight hitting a white wall can cause severe third-degree burns. Ms. Mahar, whose daughter suffers from this disease, explains how families struggle, under great hardship, to provide their children with normal lives: to go to school, travel, shop, and meet friends like themselves. \\n\\n--- \\n\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/radiorotary/support'
