Michael W. Pinder died April 28, 2010. He was the third child that Mike and Vicki Pinder have lost to Batten Disease. Michael tried an experimental medication but his disease progressed. His sister Marcy donated her brain and eyes to help find a cure for her brother. There is no cure without research, which needs to be funded. Please help so that the next family who is given a diagnosis of Batten can have HOPE for a cure- the hope Mindy, Marcy and Michael's parents wanted for them.
You can help by either walking or making a donation in honor of Michael. All proceeds go to research: Batten Disease Support and Research Association. You can send in a donation, by making a check payable to BDSRA and sending it to 2704 Avon Ave, Reading, PA 19608. We are asking all walkers to contribute a minimum of a $10 donation. We encourage you to get family, friends and neighbors to either walk or sponsor you, as a walker. Our goal is to have 250 people or more join us for this event, and we are hoping you are one of them!
