I Support SMA Research Because Babies Matter!
November 16, 2009 by Victoria Okay guys, we need help! And NOW! The SMA Treatment Acceleration Act has a window of opportunity in the House of Representatives now that the ginormous health reform bill is no longer at the forefront. But, it is a small window and so we need to up the ante, spread the word, get our mojo rolling again!!! PetitionToCureSMA.com is helping. It has given the SMA community backing to present to Congress. It has given a little known disease proof that a broader audience cares. The number of signatures on it makes a difference. So please, please ask every single person in your family, your friends, your coworkers to sign, post on facebook, tweet about it, pass out flyers, beg, plead, and SIGN. (It does not help to have you sign multiple times -- we need 100,000 unique signers.) With multiplied efforts, we can show Congress that SMA research matters because babies do!PetitionToCureSMA.com -- 100,000 signatures HERE WE COME!!!
And THANK YOU!!!
