ALL OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENT WILL BE DIRECTLY DONATED TO THE BROCHU FAMILY. BATTEN DISEASE IS EXCEPTIONALLY RARE AND AFFECTS APPROXIMATELY 1 IN 200,000. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 12 CHILDREN IN CANADA THAT HAVE THIS DISEASE. NEIL BROCHU AT 11 YEARS OLD, IS ONE OF THESE CHILDREN. A NEW ENZYME THERAPY MEDICATION HAS SURFACED, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CEASE THE DISEASE FROM PROGRESSING. IT IS SPECULATED THAT THIS PROCEDURE COULD IMPROVE OR REPAIR LOST PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ABILITIES. THE PROCEDURE REQUIRES A BRAIN SURGERY TO ADMINISTER MEDICATION, WHICH IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE US AND EUROPE. NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN OHIO HAS BEEN APPROVED TO PERFORM THIS SURGERY AND TREATMENT, AND NEIL CURRENTLY QUALIFIES FOR THIS PROCEDURE. THE BROCHU FAMILY FACES A GREAT DEAL OF UPCOMING EXPENSES IN STARTING AND CONTINUING THE PROCESS; THIS ADDS TO THE FAMILY'S ALREADY STRESSED BUDGET. FOLLOWING THE SURGERY NEIL WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED, FOR LIFE, TO MAKE BIWEEKLY VISITS TO THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO RECEIVE TREATMENTS. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AS FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS WITH GREAT IMPACT-TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. BY CHOOSING TO SPONSOR OR ATTEND THIS YEAR'S EVENT REALTORS® GOT TALENT, YOU COULD BE HELPING TO CHANGE NEIL'S LIFE FOREVER AND SUPPORT A LOCAL FAMILY IN OUR COMMUNITY.  FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT WWW.GOT-TALENT.CA [http://www.got-talent.ca]
