Last post from us on Batten Disease Awareness Day, but our work does not stop. We will keep going, but need your help. If you have seen something today that has inspired you and you want to help by either becoming a fundraiser or become a regular donor then send us a message.
We were delighted to contact 8 families today, on Batten Disease Awareness Day, to provide grant awards to help them.
Thank you to all our supporters and donors for making this happen.

Lisa and Andy are walking 100km to raise much needed funds to carry on the work of Batten Fighters Forever.
This is likely to be the last big fundraising challenge that Lisa and Andy can do as Batten Disease takes more of a hold on their own children.
