Family stories and words- we need yours!

Over the last 4 years, our Awareness Day storytelling project has been a huge success and been a really important part of the day. We are keen to continue with this storytelling project to build our library of Batten stories on social media and on our website.

There are many ways to tell your story and we are looking for perspectives from all family members in our community, including our bereaved community. You can write about Batten disease from your perspective, write a poem, take a video, send us a photo and tell us about your life with Batten.

We would love as many of you as possible to be involved to share on the day, and we are so grateful to everyone who has taken the time to share their own previously.

Please send to Lisa, admin@bdfa-uk.org.uk

Lighting up Town Buildings

Over the years several families have used their influence to get local buildings lit up orange to help raise awareness, they look amazing! It is a great way your local landmark can get involved, and lots of builds do this regularly for other causes.

Get in touch with Lisa if you are planning to light up a building near you or if you need any assistance from us and don’t forget to post and send us your amazing photos on the day!
