My personal message:

Hi, we're Brady and Colby Nelson, and we have Spinal Muscular Atrophy.  On Saturday, October 6th, our family and friends will be walking, running and rolling to raise money for us and all of our friends with SMA. 

SMA is the #1 genetic killer of children under age 2.  SMA is a genetic disease that destroys the nerves controlling muscle movement, which affects, crawling, walking, head and neck control, swallowing and eventually breathing.  There is no cure or treatment for SMA.

BUT A CURE IS ON THE HORIZON... Every penny we raise goes directly to helping find medicine to help our weak muscles. We are getting very close to finding a treatment or a cure for SMA, but research costs a lot of money. That's why we need your help! Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to help us raise funds. Remember no contribution is too small, and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to help too!

TOGETHER WE WILL FIND A CURE!
