The BDFA have teamed up with Virtual Warrior to have people raise money for Batten’s disease by running a virtual 5k (http://www.bdfa-uk.org.uk/virtual-warrior-5k-for-the-bdfa/). Most of the lab are doing this as a team and have jogged around Bute Park for 5km today, some in BDFA colors. Others in the lab are doing the 5km in other ways, such as running in to work (Emyr), on treadmills in the gym (Katie – who took the photo above), or in Rafa’s case, going up mountains in Scotland….! Considering the research support we have received from the Batten’s community we are very happy to be able to help out in a small way like this.
