Our goal is to raise much needed funds towards education and research and ongoing support to families (especially the newly diagnosed). We have several ways that we seek awareness and funding such as:

• Tax Deductible Donations made to this Charity.
• Volunteers to assist the Sale of Battens merchandise.
• Donation Tins placed in businesses.
• Volunteers to undertake fundraising activity within their community.

An important aim of this Chapter is to raise enough funds to employ an Australian based Researcher, to continue the work of foreign scientists to find a cure. This will enable us to support research without sending monies abroad where we lose a considerable amount in the dollar conversion. We reiterate here that this Chapter receives no Government funding.

Donations can be made to Australian Chapter of Batten Disease Support and Research Association by forwarding a cheque to:
9 Norton Avenue
Killarney Vale NSW 2261
Australia.
