A Deadly Disease with No Cure
Batten Disease is a genetic neurological disorder that affects children and adolescents. In the United States, one child is diagnosed with the disease every week! Over time, affected children suffer mental impairment, worsening seizures, and progressive loss of sight and motor skills. Eventually, children with Batten Disease become blind, bedridden, and unable to communicate. Presently, there is no treatment for Batten Disease and the disease is always fatal. By showing your support at the Kick Batten’s For Carl event you can help stop this deadly disease.
