Today is International Batten Disease Awareness Day.

This year, we are joining a global movement called Forget Me Knot, tying a knot to commemorate those we have lost and those we are still fighting for.

Tie a knot on your wrist, your mailbox, your car mirror, anywhere, and share a photo using . Each knot is a visible symbol of remembrance and a promise to never give up the fight.

Forget Me Knot because every child deserves to be remembered, no matter how rare their journey.

If you would like to support the BDSRA community today, a donation goes directly toward research, family programs, and advocacy for those living with Batten disease.
