Five-year-old Charlotte Jameson’s devastating battle with Childhood Dementia
This news article from 7NEWS tells the heartbreaking story of five-year-old Charlotte Jameson, who is battling Batten Disease CLN2, a rare form of Childhood Dementia. Charlotte, who was diagnosed at the age of three, is expected to lose her ability to walk, talk, and see, and is unlikely to live beyond the age of fourteen. Her family is sharing her story to raise awareness about Childhood Dementia, which is often misunderstood and less known than Childhood Cancer. They have set up a GoFundMe page to help fulfill Charlotte's bucket list and make the most of the time they have with her.
When Charlotte wasn’t responding to Epilepsy medication, she underwent a series of tests that revealed this bright and bubbly three-year-old actually has Childhood Dementia.
