Batten disease adVoCates stoRM dC dURing RaRe disease WeeKOver 200 passionate rare disease advocates joined forces in Washington D.C. to attend the Rare Disease Legislative Advocates legislative conference and lobby day. During the conference, advocates heard from panels of experts and congressional staff who provided key insights into effective advocacy and updates on the politicallandscape. Armed with that knowledge, advocates then visited their representativesin the House and Senate, sharing their personal stories and lobbying for legislationon behalf of the rare disease community, visiting over 200 offices. Above are Batten families who ‘took the Hill!’

You can be a rare advocate all year long:

· Write to your representatives in Washington and tell them your personal story of Batten disease.

· Tell them to support the 21st Century Cures initiatives and become a member of the Rare Disease Caucus.

· Learn more about rare disease congressional initiatives with Rare Disease Legislative Advocates, www.rdla.org and National Organization for Rare Disorders, www.rarediseases.org.

noaH CoUgHlan RUns foR RaRe in His tHiRd toUR aCRoss aMeRiCaNoah Coughlan began his cross-country run on Rare Disease Day, February 28th, at the Statue of Liberty. During his trek south, through Virginia, he made a special stop in Virginia Beach to bring awareness of rare diseases and visit some very special kids.

“Well, you’re looking at the reasons why I’m running!” Noah says. Noah is surrounded by Zeq Caalim, Dante Herrera, and little Savannah Geiger. All of these kids from Hampton Roads are battling rare diseases.

“I will always take a day off or do a special tribute to the children who are fighting a daily fight.”

Noah will finish his run in July in San Diego, California.

Dr. Sandra Hofmann continues important work with preclinical study

Preclinical studies often involve testing a treatment for a disease in an animal model. The Hofmann lab has been working for a number of years on treatments for infantile Batten using a genetically engineered mouse model . The mice become ill around 5 months of age and survive about 8 months (whereas the normal lifespan of a mouse is about 2-3 years). The mouse model has been useful for testing therapies for Batten disease caused by lack of PPT. Infantile Batten disease is caused by build-up of material in the brain due to lack of an enzyme called palmitoyl-protein thioesterase, or PPT. The normal function of PPT is to break a chemical bond between naturally-occurring linkages between

fatty acids and amino acids in proteins (the amino acid cysteine, in particular).

The enzyme normally functions in the lysosomal compartment of the cell where degradation and recycling of cellular material normally occurs. Lack of the enzyme PPT is harmful to neurons and causes the serious manifestations of infantile Batten disease. Some

Dr. Jui-Yun (Laura) Lu, Instructor in Internal Medicine, and Dr. Sandra Hofmann, Professor in Internal Medicine within the Division of Hematology-Oncology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center


older children with Batten Disease (CLN1-late infantile and CLN1-juvenile) also have PPT deficiency with a later onset due to mutations that provide a small amount (2-4%) of normal enzyme function. If PPT could be supplied back to the brain, it is possible that the loss of neurons could be stopped, but probably not reversed.

The project funded by the Batten Disease Family Association in the UK, through the BDSRA sought to determine the effect of administering PPT directly to the central nervous system of PPT deficient mice by injection into the cerebrospinal fluid, as in a spinal tap. About 80 mice were used for the experiment. Mice received no injections, injection of a solution of artificial cerebrospinal fluid, or the same fluid with three different dose levels of PPT. For technical reasons only one set of injections was performed, at around 6 weeks of age, which is early adulthood for a mouse. Injected mice were subjected to motor tests throughout the lifespan. Data gathered so far indicate that injected mice live longer, perform better on motor tests and have improvements in brain and pinal cord pathology.

A clinical trial for children with CLN2 Batten Disease uses the enzyme TPP-1 (BMN-190) administered to the cerebrospinal fluid of the brain. The clinical trial was based largely upon preclinical mouse studies involving the CLN2 enzyme, much like the current study of CLN1.

Results of the current study funded by the BDFA/BDSRA on CLN1/PPT support using the same approach for CLN1 disease. Future experiments to prove the safety of the PPT1 enzyme in at least two species (a requirement for regulatory agencies) and more detailed efficacy studies for the final therapeutic product will also need to be done. Because the final therapeutic given to patients will need to be tested in a variety of ways to ensure safety and effectiveness, these studies are best done in the context of a pharmaceutical company drug development program. The results of the study will make infantile Batten disease/CLN1 an attractive opportunity for drug development. research related to all forms of Batten disease.

Board elections for BDSRA were held in November, 2014 in which five candidates were on the ballot for four open positions. Official results were tabulated by the accounting firm of Laubie, Karling & Associates. Board nomination ballots were mailed to all current dues paying members of BDSRA.

Elected for a three year term was returning board member Mike Collins, joining new members Bob Jensen of Deer Park, Illinois, Darlene Royalty of Ursa, Illinois, and Donna Fogle of St. Augustine, Florida.

At the summer meeting the board amended the bylaws to appoint up to two members to the board for a two year term to fit critical roles. The board always has a need for a lawyer to review contracts and advise in legal matters. To fill this critical position the board has appointed Kate Haller for a two year term.

Mike Collins works for Numotion as an Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) and Certified Rehabilitation Technology Supplier (CRTS) in Mokena Illinois. Mike has been a member of the board for the last three years and brings his industry knowledge and experience to the board in order to facilitate an exchange of information between Batten families and industry professionals in the challenges we face with Batten Disease. Mike is dedicated to understanding what families are looking for from the board.

donna fogle is a Licensed Health & Life Insurance Agent/Advocate/Consultant/Lobbyist/Account Executive with The Bailey Group in St. Augustine, Florida. Donna brings to the board extensive experience in advocacy, legislation, fundraising and navigating the healthcare system.

Candle sale geneRates aWaReness This October was the 12th National BDSRA Fall Candle Sale. The candles for this sale are made in Monroe, MI, the hometown of the Thompson family, and sold all over the country. This sale is not only a great fundraiser but also a fantastic awareness builder.

Batten gaRage sale taKes oVeR staten islandThe Surrey family of Staten Island, New York, devoted two weekends in September to fundraise for Batten disease. Over $6,000 was raised for research in six days of the selling of hundreds of items in their colossal sale. Items covered the front, side, and backyard, according to Janet Surrey, mom to Michele and Lauren, who have CLN3. Volunteers, friends, and family spent many hours in this effort. Well done!


answers to your fundraising Questions Events and fundraisers are an important community partnership for BDSRA to help the research and family services mission of the organization. We appreciate all the gifts of time, talent and skill to help expand the resources available for research and family support. Our goal is to help each and every event be successful and seamless for organizers and volunteers.

Q: How does the national BDSRA office help with third-party event fundraisers? A: The national office can offer advice and resource guidance on event planning and the process for accepting donations as well as help promote the event with the BDSRA website and Facebook links. Educational and awareness materials are available and can be shipped to the event location, and the office will also provide permission and promotional guidelines for use of the BDSRA name and logo. Event ideas and referrals to event mentors who have experience with certain formats are also available. Pre-event publicity and post-event information and photos can also be shared and coordinated through the national office to let BDSRA families know what great work is being done on their behalf.

Q: What are the financial guidelines and what is the process to receipt event donations?

A: The BDSRA national office follows all financial and tax regulations required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations associated with third party fundraisers and events. Detailed accounting of event revenues and donor gifts is important for tax purposes. All donations received made payable to and received by the national BDSRA office will receive a written acknowledgement for tax purposes acknowledging the donation. All donor contact information, amount of gift, and date of the event is necessary for the national office to provide gift acknowledgement letters. This information can be emailed via a list or spreadsheet to tkirby@bdsra. org, or sent in the U.S. mail to BDSRA, 1175 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

Under federal income tax law, if goods and services are received by a donor in return for a donation (raffle tickets, meals, gifts, golfing), the portion of the donation that is tax deductible for tax purposes is limited to the amount by which the donation exceeds the value of the goods or services received. If donations from an event are deposited into a separate account outside BDSRA and donated in a single amount to BDSRA (i.e., one check), only the individual, organization, foundation, or other entity whose name appears on

the check is eligible to receive a tax acknowledgement for the donation. It is the responsibility of the event sponsor, when appropriate; to inform donors their gift cannot be acknowledged as a tax deduction to BDSRA. Credit card gifts charged to an independent bank account outside BDSRA also cannot be provided with a tax deduction from the national office. Cash gifts must be entered on a list with the donor’s name, amount of cash donated, and contact information when transferred to the national BDSRA office. Proceeds from an event listing BDSRA as the nonprofit gift recipient, with checks made payable to BDSRA, cannot be split between the organization and any other group or individual if BDSRA is providing a tax acknowledgement to the donor. BDSRA cannot provide a Tax I.D. number or nonprofit 501(c)3 status to any event that is a fundraiser for private individuals or families.

Additional details and IRS requirement guidelines to acknowledge charitable donations are available at www.irs. gov and Publication 526 of the Internal Revenue Service or by calling 800-829-3676.


Q: What are the guidelines for event expenses and banking?

A: Event organizers are responsible for expenses associated with third-party events, and the national office cannot process any bills or invoices associated with third-party fundraisers. Any insurance liability coverage, and federal, state, or local taxes associated with an event is the responsibility of the event organizers. The national BDSRA office cannot compensate for an event in which the expenses exceed the proceeds.

Q: Will thank you letters be sent from the national BDSRA office to event participants?

A: The national BDSRA office will send a thank you letter to event participants if the office is provided with a list or spreadsheet with the names and contact information of the participants. This can be emailed or mailed to the office. A gift acknowledgement letter with the appropriate charitable deduction documentation will be sent to event donors whose gifts are documented and transferred to BDSRA within the IRS requirements noted above. The national BDSRA office will work with each event or fundraiser in advance to determine what letter can be issued to donors by BDSRA within the tax and organizational guidelines. Thanking event participants and donors is an important step in helping supporters feel their gifts are important and have an impact. It also encourages people to attend again and share their experiences with others.

Q: What if there are special situations or questions about an event or fundraiser?

A: Call BDSRA at (800) 448-4570 or email [email protected].
