#CLN2 is also the only the Batten disease with an FDA Approved treatment. THIS is why newborn screening is imperative. @BDSRA #BattenAdvocatesForACure
#CLN2 also known as a form of Batten disease, tends to present in children between 2-4 years of age typically with seizures and difficulties with coordination and can lead to muscle twitches, intellectual disability, behavioral problems and more. #raredisease #publichealth

Today is Making Life Beautiful Day.
#MakingLifeBeautifulDay is a special celebration held every year on June 11th. This day focuses on appreciating those who contribute to making our lives and the world around us more beautiful.
It’s a time to recognize the impact of beauty in various forms, from the arts to simple acts of kindness. Whether it's realizing one's personal vision and journey, close family and friends, access to resources that support one's overall health and wellness or something else, we all have the power to add something beautiful to the world.
Let's let today be a reminder of the power we all possess to bring joy and happiness to the lives of others, not just on this particular day but every day.
