BIG in 2010!

This year we are starting BIG!!! Why? Because Alejandro is not a baby or a toddler or a kindergartener! Nope, he is a BIG BOY now, and a big boy deserves a big year!

Alejandro is an eight year old who absolutely LOVES his friends. I sometimes ask myself if I was like that at eight, and I don't really remember, but I know that Alejandro would do ANYTHING for his friends. And it is amazing how things are, because his friends are doing something truly special for him. His friends have agreed to push Alejandro across the finish line to help beatSMA! They want to raise awareness, they want to raise money for research to find a cure for a friend. With the hope that one day Alejandro will be able to run his race, these kids have teamed up to make a dream a reality. It is about love, hope and FUN!

The event will take place Saturday, January 16th at 9:15am in Houston TX. The Kid's Fun Run is part of the Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon.

Watch the video to see their story.


This year we want to make our donations directly to research for Spinal Muscular Atrophy lead by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDAusa.org).

To make donations and learn more about Alejandro, his life with SMA and team beatSMA go to http://active.com/donate/beatsma. Or click on the beatSMA logo to the right.

Also stay tuned on January 17th for a video of the race day!

Thanks for your contribution... it fuels our hope!

Blessings!
