One Million Dollars for SMA Awareness and Research?

Yes, you read that correctly.  One MILLION dollars.

But only if you help.

The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation (GSF) has already won $25,000 in the Chase Community Giving campaign on Facebook.  (That's Chase as in the big bank and credit card company.)  And, just as they pledged to do, they donated all $25,000 to SMA research at the University of California-Irvine, California Stem Cell, Inc., and Dr. Hans Keirstead.  (Check out this news release from Families of SMA for more info on the research.)

How did GSF win $25,000?  The same way they'll win $1,000,000...with your help!

Facebook users became fans of the Chase Community Giving campaign.  Then they voted for GSF.  And asked their friends to vote as well.  Simple, really.  GSF was one of the top 100 charities.

Voting for round two begins Friday, January 15th and ends Friday, January 22nd.

Will you help?  Please!

Will you ask your friends to help?  (Get some great ideas from the Strong family here.)

One million dollars would dramatically change SMA.
