In the summer of 2013 I was approached to help found a charitable foundation to provide funding and support to help find a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). DAWS stands for Do Away With SMA.
If you are unfamiliar with this genetic disease then all you need to know is that it is the #1 genetic killer of children under 2 years of age and that there is currently no cure or even a treatment. It is a terminal and degenerative disease that causes weakness and wasting of the voluntary muscles in infants and children. 1 in 6000 children are born with SMA.
Recently, DAWS Do Away with SMA (DAWS) became an official charity partner of the 2017 Marine Corps Marathon!
We are EXTREMELY PROUD and HONORED to have been named an OFFICIAL CHARITY PARTNER of…THE 2017 MARINE CORPS MARATHON!!!
There are only 35 of 40 spots remaining for this incredible marathon journey…and we are sure that runners will snatch these remaining entries up FAST!!!!
If you would like to support DAWS to find a cure for SMA please consider donating a charitable gift to The DAWS Foundation or running the 2017 Marine Corps Marathon!
We appreciate your support!
