Anônimo

Born with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare and excruciatingly painful condition that makes her skin as fragile as butterfly wings, Emma Fogarty was not expected to survive infancy. Today, at 41 years of age, she is the oldest living Irish person with the condition, continuing to defy the odds with extraordinary strength, resilience and remarkable achievements. 
 
However, every accomplishment Emma makes comes with its own set of obstacles. EB is a cruel disease which causes her skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch. She can no longer walk, and she lost the use of her fingers when they fused together. Her bandages need to be changed every two days, an agonising process which takes hours. Emma’s daily life is a battle against debilitating pain, yet she embraces every moment with fierce positivity and determination. 
 
In 2024, she took part in the Dublin Marathon alongside her close friend Colin Farrell to mark her 40th birthday, raising over €1 million for DEBRA Ireland.

Dementia need not be a disaster or a dread; instead it can be a doorway to creating a smarter brain, stronger body and more fulfilling life.
Moment by moment, our brain is changing in response to everything we do, think, feel and experience. This is known as neuroplasticity. We are not passive victims of our genes, our past or our environment. We play an active role in how our brain develops throughout our life, and it's never too late - or too early - to boost our brain, avert Alzheimer's and defy dementia.

Preserv

Marie Michele Destil

Through Gingerbites, I discovered that our stories—like our food—are meant to be shared. They carry resilience, joy, and cultural pride. 
The journey from Juvance to Gingerbites taught me that endings can become beginnings in disguise, and that growth often rises from our deepest trials. 
I hope the lessons I’ve learned ignite something in others—especially women, immigrants, and entrepreneurs who may feel like they’re standing on shaky ground. Trust your roots. Trust your recipe. Keep going. 
I invite you into my kitchen, into my story, into the heart of a journey rooted in faith, family, and flavor. Let us gather—not just to eat, but to share, to listen, and to honor the rich, layered tapestry of who we are. 
Because in every jar, every plate, and every shared story, there is healing, there is heritage, and above all, there is hope. 
This is my story—told from the heart of a woman who has lived, lost, and loved deeply. It’s about finding my way back to myself through food, faith, and the memories that never left me. 
Even when life falls apart, we can gather the pieces, season them with grace, and begin again. 
Because what we preserve— our stories, our culture, our resilience— is what keeps us alive.
