On Friday at day care we had a jumping castle! Amy was very excited and couldn't wait to have a bounce. Across all of our 38 campuses, we had jumping castles. We were helping to raise awareness for Battens disease. Batten disease is a degenerative neurological condition that presents itself in children. It commonly robs children of their sight first. Seizures, speech and motor difficulties usually follow, which often leaves children bedridden. There is currently no known cure for this disease, which affects 1 in 100, 000 children. Our aim was to raise awareness for this disease to help one of our families at another campus, who's young daughter suffers from this condition.
By uploading as many photos of our 'jumps' as possible onto social media, we hope to break the world record of 50,000 jumps! Pictures must be taken of a person jumping with both feet off the ground, and uploaded to social media.
We had great fun bouncing. Here's a link for more information.
