Sebastian Velona suffers from Batten CLN8, a rare neurological disorder that is expected to take his life before he reaches adulthood. At only 13 years old, Sebastian has already lost most of his vision and his ability to walk and speak is declining. Without successful treatment, within the next 24 months Sebastian will become unable to eat, talk or move on his own and he faces a future with increasingly severe seizures and health complications.

Sebastian Velona’s team of leading doctors and scientists from across the US have worked together and developed a gene therapy to hopefully stop the progression of Batten CLN8 and save Sebi’s life, but as any rare disease with a new treatment, it is not yet covered by insurance and the costs are astronomical. Sebi’s time is running out and he needs your help. Please join us for the Saving Sebi Wine Gala and help save Sebi’s life.
