Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2005 Hucknall twins Freddie and Louie were born perfectly normal to friends of mine, Sarah and Andrew. In 2007 they were diagnosed with autism and a few years later they became completely blind.

Batten disease is a cruel degenerative neurological condition. There has been no research since 2008 because not enough people suffer with it. Scientists are waiting to carry on research, they just need £20,000 to start. I am helping them to get there. Please read their incredible story at www.battlebatten.com, and help me raise as much as possible.
