💗Great North Run 2025💗

The Great North Run is the most iconic half marathon in the world and what better way to take part knowing you will be supporting the Batten Disease community and our family through: The Nicole and Jessica Rich Foundation and The Batten Disease Family Association who support families across the UK living with all 13 different variants of Batten Disease.

80% of the funds raised from all fundraising will go directly to the BDFA to allow them to continue to provide the much needed services to affected families.

🧡

The BDFA are currently developing their bereavement services, beginning with monthly group sessions for bereaved parents with a trained practitioner. The BDFA’s peer befriending service is growing along with their family support and advocacy work. Part of a longer term strategy will see the BDFA develop its research and scientific function over the coming years.

🩷

The remaining 20% of all fundraising will go to The Nicole and Jessica Rich Foundation to help with the care of their daughter Jessica and allow them to give her access to the specialist activities and equipment which will support her individual needs. It will help you allow them the opportunity to create precious family memories through experiences / holidays, as well as allowing them to donate to support a service or an activity that supports our family within our local community.

We are grateful for your support and for your donation towards this cause. Thank you.

Your support means so much.

Thank you.
