Mission and Program Overview
Mission
The mission of mila's miracle foundation is to find and fund paths to a cure for batten and other neurodegenerative diseases. Families in this community have been pivotal in raising the necessary funds and awareness. Together with our incredible scientists and partner organizations, we hope that our work will improve the prognosis of batten disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Through our fundraising - which includes grassroots efforts, individuals and family foundations, and events - we have started two genetic therapy trials (one underway, the other still in the pre-clinical phase) as well as fund scientists focused on bench research to understand the underlying causes and indications of cln7 batten disease.

“Members of the board are asked to disclose and present on potential conflicts to the full board of directors during regularly scheduled meetings. Meetings adjourn to an executive session, as noted in the minutes, at which time the remaining directors review, discuss and vote to determine if a conflict of interest exists and if any further action needs to be taken. Directors and officers are asked to sign an affirmation statement annually and conduct periodic reviews to ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status.”
