About Us

Brooke and Brielle have both been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type II.  There is no cure for this disease but the National Institute of Health believes a cure can be found within the next 5 years with proper funding. 

Our family has created this page to inform you about the disease, spread awareness and give updates about our life with SMA.

A Visit To Our Local Fire Department

DateTuesday, November 6, 2012 at 2:16PM | AuthorSarah

Our family finally got down to visit our local Fire Department last month to thank them for all they do and the incredible amount of money they raised for the “Fill The Boot” campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  In just a few short hours they raised over $3,000!  For the past two years, they have been the No. 1 volunteer fire department in the state of MI for raising funds for the MDA.  Thank you Mattawan Fire Dept!!

The fire department had training that night and they took the extra time out to meet with us.  They were all so nice and had special shirts for the girls and also gave them teddy bears!  The girls loved everything about the visit and didn’t want to leave!  We promise to go back and visit again soon!

Thank you for all you do!
