Savannah Sue's Story

On August 2nd, 2010, at only eight weeks old, my baby cousin, Savannah Sue Norton, was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I, the number one genetic killer of babies under the age of two. I need your help in donations, sponsorships, contributions and/or time to make this disease known, and to help fund research to find a cure. No family should have to suffer through this disease.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a fatal neuromuscular disease with no treatment or cure, destroys the nerves controlling voluntary muscle movement, which affects crawling, walking, head and neck control, even the ability to swallow and breathe. Ultimately, what will take Savannah Sue’s life, and other infants with SMA Type I, is the weak muscles in her rib cage will either not support her breathing, or she will catch pneumonia from a simple cold because she does not have the strength to cough and clear her own lungs. The decisions her parents Paul and Sheree have to make are unthinkable as they were just celebrating the birth of what they thought was a “healthy” beautiful baby girl. Current statistics show that the average lifespan of a child with SMA Type I, not put on permanent ventilation or "life support", is only eight months of age, with 80% dying by the age of one, and the majority of the rest dying by age two.

But right now, we need your help! Your kind generosity in donations and sponsorships will hopefully change the lives of the current and future families diagnosed with this frightful disease.

There is nothing worse than a hurt child, PLEASE DONATE!
