4 maintenance technicians who work at AkzoNobel in Ashington planning to complete the Nation Three Peaks Challenge to raise money and awareness for the Nicole Rich Foundation
Fundraising pageOur colleague Matty and his wife's two beautiful, precious daughters have recently been diagnosed with Batten Disease, an extremely rare neuro degenerative disease. Nicole was diagnosed in September 2016 & Jessica, 3 months later in December. It is the most horrendous disease which takes away their ability to walk, talk & feed themselves, as well as taking their sight. Children with CLN2 type of Batten, which is the type Nicole & Jessica have, are not expected to live into their teens.
