vote for riley


Riley is one of thousands of babies born each year with a life threatening disease called Spinal Muscle Atrophy.  Every day is a fight for his life.  He is dependent on machines to feed him and even cough for him.  He can not sit, stand, walk or even give a hug.  He endures all these everyday life challenges with a smile on his face and belly full of laughs.  Currently there is no cure or treatment for this disease but there is a glimmer of light down the tunnel.  There are new potential treatments arising into effect with in this year.  Unfortunately like everything else good in this world it comes with a hefty price tag.  It takes millions of dollars to create new treatments and that's where we need everyone's help.  The Gwendolyn Strong foundation has teamed up with Chase Community  Giving Campaign to fight for a cure.  Currently the foundation is number 7 in the running.  There are only three days left to vote so log on to your facebook page and tell your friends, your family and anyone else you meet to vote!  follow this link and click to enter the voting page.  scroll down to The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation and vote!  Here's to number one! http://www.facebook.com/ChaseCommunityGiving#/ChaseCommunityGiving?v=app_162065369655
