A Baby Needs Your Help to Fight for His Life
I feel so blessed to have a healthy child. When my friend, Doug, wrote me to say that J. Robbins (an indie musician behind Burning Airlines, Jawbox and perhaps even Government Issue) had a child with a devastating disease, I knew I had to help.
This is an excerpt from the web site for him:
Cal was born with a genetic motor neuron disease called Type 1 SMA, or Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
The facts are brutal: SMA kills kids. The disease affects the brain’s ability to communicate with the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, breathing, and swallowing. Type 1 SMA is usually fatal; most Type 1 babies will die before their second birthday.
I am donating money to help him and hope you will, too.
