Batten disease requires a multidisciplinary medical and social dreamteam to work alongside our family.

I think about Specialised School Teacher Florence, who organised friendly socials for Maëlyn even after she left school. Thank you 🧡

My niece loves listening to audio books while cuddled in soft, smooth fabrics. She smiles when her dad says silly things.

Her parents & carers provide round the clock care needed for a toddler mind with multiple disabilities.

Hi! I'm Emeline, über lucky aunty to 18-year-old Maëlyn. She has #Batten disease.

#BattenDay2023 is round the corner, so I'll thread what I know about this neurodegenerative disease.
