Velvet’s Vintage honours Baby Cameron

I’d like to introduce everyone to the wonderful Walker Family from Cleveland, US.

Velvet and Craig Walker are US Treasurer and Board Member, Nick Walker’s Mum and Dad. They are also Grandparents to sweet little 2 year old Cameron who was born with KRT1 Epidermolytic Ichthyosis (EI) and Plantar-Palmer Keratosis (PPK).

Velvet and Craig are also the proud owners of ‘Velvet’s Vintage’, a place where vintage dreams are made, and where secret treasures can be found in every nook and stylishly-dressed cranny in the store.

Since Nick started as one of the founding members of the EI Cure Project of America in early 2023, his wonderful parents have donated very generously for 2 years running. Every year at Velvet’s Vintage, they hold a clearance sale, and they donate 10% of their earnings from this to the EI Cure Project of America. Over the last 2 years, Velvet and Craig have generously donated $4,200 (£3,300 / CHF3,700) to give to research into finding a cure for their precious grandson and everyone else just like him.

Velvet and Craig, you are true champions of all things vintage, and now we are proud to have you as champions for the EI Cure Project of America too. Thank you for everything you have done, and for everything I know that you will continue to do inorder to support your family and our mission to find a cure for EI.
