Tribute to Jonathan Pitre, Butterfly Boy

Extremely courageous in his daily battle with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) - a painful skin disease - Jonathan Pitre died Wednesday in Minnesota where he had been receiving treatment for the last few years. A native of Russell, Ontario he followed his dream and used his voice to educate many on the disease.

He inspired us to follow our dreams no matter the challenges or difficulties because in his words “dreams push us to do more, be more and achieve more. The only true limits in life” he said, “are the ones we create for ourselves and the ones that are forced on us.”  Jonathan encouraged us to always move forward.
