My name is Sarah and I'm a long-time follo...Hi! My name is Sarah and I'm a long-time follower of your blog but a first-time commenter. I'm a college student who works with special needs kids. I also follow more than 200 blogs, and I'm sending a very special message to all the blogs I follow: YOU have the chance to be part of a miracle!<br /><br />If you are a member of Facebook or know someone who is, please take the chance to do something incredible!<br /><br />Chase Community Giving is awarding $1 million to 5 charities! The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation is working to find a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy - and they could use the money!<br /><br />Fast Facts:<br />- SMA is the #1 genetic killer of infants under the age of 2<br />- 50% of those diagnosed will not live to see their 2nd birthday<br />- kids with SMA lose the ability to sit, stand, walk, talk, eat, swallow, and breathe<br />- 1 in 40 people is a carrier<br />- the National Institute of Health says that SMA is the #1 CURABLE disease if given research funding<br />- right now there is NO cure and NO treatment<br />- right now SMA is a DEATH SENTENCE<br /><br />Want to change that? Vote for the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation on the Chase Community Giving app on Facebook! You have five votes to tell the world that you want a CURE for SMA!<br /><br />Tell your friends and blog contacts - let them know they could be part of a MIRACLE - be part of a CURE - and give these kids a FUTURE!<br /><br />Thank you!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936542397551717650noreply@blogger.com
