I wish…

I wish there was no such thing as Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

I wish sweet Ryan Hawn would be physically with his family forever.

I wish Jenn and Chris Hawn didn’t have to suffer the pain of knowing they would have have to say goodbye to their young son.

I wish treatments for SMA were a reality and a cure existed.

I wish that the numbers would change from 1 in 6000 kids affected by the disease to 1 in 100 billion.

I wish there was something we could do.

Wait, there is.  It is something small, but it just might help.

Sign this petition to help end SMA.  Experts think they are close to a viable treatment - wouldn’t it be wonderful if your signature helped to create that reality?

Tonight, I am MCing a fundraiser for Ryan’s family.  I am blessed to know this family.  I am amazed at their strength, courage and grace.  Keep them in your prayers.
