Who is Chad?

Chad Daniel Forsyth was a courageous 13 year old who had long fought the battle against “Late Infantile Batten Disease” which he was diagnosed with in 1995 at the age of 4. Chad served his life as an inspiration, touching the hearts of many, far and wide. Through his life, and now through his passing, he created an awareness of this disease and it's devastating progression.

What is Chad's Hope?

Chad's hope was for a cure of Late Infantile Batten Disease, and through the continuing efforts of the Chad's Hope Foundation, which is a group consisting of family and friends of Chad, and other organizations like it, his hope may one day be realized and suffering will come to an end.

Raising Funds and Awareness

2005 was another exciting year for Chad's Hope. Although scaled back from previous years, Chad's Hope Committee hosted a bingo bowl in the spring of 2005 and a pasta dinner in the fall. Events for 2006 are in the process of being planned, and more details will be coming soon.

WHAT'S NEW IN TO THE SITE IN 2006?

WIth the advancement of medical technology, 2005 brought a hope of new promising interventions for the treatment of Batten Disease. Some of the current research information has been updated and highlighted on The Research Page.
