About Wheeler's Warriors

What is CLN3

CLN3, Juvenile Batten Disease, is an ultra-rare, fatal, inherited disorder that primarily affects the nervous system. Children with CLN3 disease develop normally until ages 4–6 years, when progressive vision loss becomes noticeable. Typically, within 2–3 years after symptom onset, total vision loss occurs, and seizures begin, followed by declining speech and the progressive loss of motor coordination. Eventually, children become wheelchair-bound, bed-ridden, and die in their late teens to late twenties.

Meet Wheeler

What is CLN3

Wheeler was born three weeks early at a healthy 9lbs 6oz and 20 3/4in long. He was diagnosed at just four weeks old, making him one of the youngest, pre-symptomatic cases to our knowledge. Full of life and energy, Wheeler loves playing outside, traveling, eating, and being with his loved ones. At almost four years old, Wheeler is showcasing his strength and determination in every way. He enjoys his horse therapy, trips to the playground, walking his puppies, and climbing and jumping on everything possible. Most of all, Wheeler is sweet, kind, and has a heart of gold.
