HOPE, The Will Herndon Research Fund

We support HOPE, The Will Herndon Research Fund at Beyond Batten Disease Foundation through advocacy, sponsorships and through our HOPE Homes Initiative. In 2009, at the age of 6, Woodlands resident, Will Herndon, was diagnosed with a fatal, rare, degenerative brain disease called juvenile Batten disease. Missy and Wayne Herndon, in an effort to save their oldest son, founded HOPE, The Will Herndon Research Fund to find a treatment, and ultimately, a cure for juvenile Batten disease. In 2017, we launched our HOPE Home Initiative. Through renovation and restoration, homes in The Woodlands community are restored and sold with a percentage of proceeds donated to The Will Herndon Research Fund.
