Around the time Savannah Fulkerson turned 4, she became unable to spend any length of time outdoors. “We’d be outside about 20 minutes or so … she’d say, ‘I burn!’” recalled Savannah’s mother Andrea Fulkerson. Fulkerson remembers Savannah in so much pain she had “uncontrollable screaming like she got hit by a car.”

Natures Mistake says:

I always feel so bad when I watch these kinds of kids that have kids, they have to do so many things to take care of themselves and make sure they don't get worse diseases like cancer and stuff it's so sad. These kids don't know what it's like to just go to school regularly and come home and play soccer or something, they have to go inside, cream them selves, stay away from sunlight, or use a wheel chair! Some people never even experienced walking because of a disease they have, it's terrible.
