Light-ing the way for a Beaverton Man

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 3:40 pm

It’s a rare skin disease that left Jeremy Lees a prisoner in his own home  Xeroderma Pigmentosum (which we will call XP) means Lees’ skin can’t protect itself from UV rays (found in everything from light bulbs to natural light).  Day to day life has left Lees with countless skin cancers , the first appearing in his early teens.

While Lees sticks to long sleeves and high SPF coverage whenever he leaves the house, inside his home he was forced to avoid any open window.  That is, until some neighbors decided to give him a gift.

Clear Innovations Oregon donated and installed some special protective film made by 3 M  after they were tipped off to the situation but the XP Family Support Group.  The new layer on every window in Lees home guards against 99% of the harmful rays.  You can read more in this story from the Valley Times.
