Eight-year old Noah and his six-year old sister Laine are battling LINCL –Batten disease, a rare genetic illness that has ruthlessly robbed them of their speech, balance and mobility.  At this time LINCL – Batten disease is always terminal, usually between the ages of eight and 12.  Noah’s Hope has funded several research projects, partnered with other LINCL-Batten disease family foundations, and led many other initiatives in the fight against LINCL – Batten disease.
