Our Promse to Nicholas Foundation named after Nicholas Dainiak of Bedford, NH. OPTN was established in 2009 as a non-profit charitable foundation. At age five, Nicholas was diagnosed with a rare genetic brain disorder called Batten Disease. This disease affects an estimated two to four children out of 100,000 born in the United States. Batten causes seizures, blindness, demenia, immobility and eventually requireds twenty-four hour care. The cruel part of this disease is that these children are vibrant and healthy until it takes its course around the age of four. Eventually Batten takes over the brain, causing a child to die between the age of eight and tweleve. 

Sadly, Nicholas lost his battle to Batten on May 9, 2014 on his 11th birthday. In keeping our promise to Nicholas, we continue to work toward a cure for this childhood disease. 

Please consider making a tax-deductable donation to the OPTN INDOOR Maze to the Egg Hunt and Easter Bunny. Your support will have an influence in the lives of children with Batten Disease and help us keep our promise to this important and worthwhile cause.
