Eczema is a fairly common skin condition, but for kids it is especially troublesome. Sasha Vujacic has stepped up to the plate to help these kids out. This is yet another “Act of Kindness” that Sasha has generously performed. Below is a video of his past “Acts.”

An excerpt from Chris Manning’s article – Sasha Scores for Kids with Eczema.

Vujacic.net: Over 30 million Americans – many of them children – suffer from a skin disease called eczema.

Sasha Scores for Kids with Eczema, launched with the National Eczema Association (800/818-7546), is a campaign to raise awareness and funds to support this cause. The first 100 donors will receive an autographed photo of Sasha. Donate now!

Sasha became aware of how severe eczema can be through three year old Lakers superfan Jarrett (seen in the below videos.)

Want to know more about Jarrett’s fandom? Eric shared this interesting fact with me: “Like all fans, we watch the games, we buy the merchandise, etc. But for Jarrett and our family, the Lakers mean so much more.

The Lakers help us get through every day by providing much needed distractions, and have greatly improved Jarrett’s quality of life. Jarrett brushes his teeth to players’ jersey number–for instance, I call out “Sasha,” and Jarrett takes 18 brush strokes and then stops.

The lotions we use on his skin have been dubbed, “Kobe Cream,” “Magic,” and “Lamar Lotion.” The “Laker Movie,” which is the Championship DVD, is watched everyday to keep his mind off of scratching. The list goes on and on. Thank goodness the season is starting because we must have watched the Championship DVD over a thousand times.”
