A Story of Love and Caring - Living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy




I was sent this and oh my..... I cried all the way through it. Its amazing what LOVE and CARING can do.
A community hit hard from the times did this for a special family. So. heart warming!!  I wanted to share with others. Watch this story on Dateline this Sunday !!

Hi Nina,

Given Lizzy’s active followers and your voice in SMA therapies, I thought you and your audience would be interested in the following inspiring segment that will be airing on ‘Dateline’ this Sunday, March 28, at 7pm EST. The story is about a small Wisconsin town that rallied behind Karen Longoria, a Wisconsin single mother of triplets who has been fighting multiple battles: after two of her children were diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, she was then diagnosed with breast cancer.

The small town of Grafton, WS truly joined forces to help build a better home for the struggling mother and her children. Local farmers donated their proceeds to the cause, over $200,000 were raised, over 1,000 volunteers showed up, the principal of the local elementary school even kissed a cow after challenging his school to raise a certain amount for the Longoria family.

Here’s a preview clip from this morning’s TODAY  (embed code at the bottom of this email) and a brief teaser  to give you a better idea about  Sunday’s program.

Look forward to hearing what you think,

Cheers,

Rob!
