"The BUG" is FOUR YEARS old today!
Saddly only 10% of the kids with SMA type 1 live to see their second birthday, which makes Jadon's 4th even more amazing.

Open letter to Jadon from his family:

Jadon, Today you are FOUR YEARS OLD. At times it is truly hard to comprehend. Some days we wonder where the 4 years have gone and other times we look into your eyes and you seem infinitely older ...

We would like to thank those brave souls and their families who serve our country. We could never begin to thank you enough for your dedication and sacrifice. Today we remember all those who have gone before us. Have a blessed Memorial Day.

This Fall, Jadon’s Hope is hosting a fun night of casino games and we want YOU to decide what to call it.

Simply give us your suggestion in a comment on THIS post and make sure you “like” Jadon's Hope Foundation page.

We’ll take suggestions through midnight this Friday, May 24th and over the weekend our Board of Directors will choose the 4 they like the best. We’ll post those 4 on Monday and the one that gets the most “likes” by Noon Thursday May 30th will be the event name.

The person who names the event will receive a $25 Visa gift card.

We will “double down” and make that amount $50 IF on May 31st we have 800 likes on Jadon’s Hope page. SO share it, tell your friends, but most importantly have fun.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: At the event we will have casino games like blackjack, roulette, craps, and poker. The Foundation has been formed to fight SMA and “The Bug” is our mascot which is inspired by Jadon. We want to help families and also fund research. Maybe something like: “Doubling Down against SMA” or “Hit Me for SMA”

WHEN YOU SHARE this post be sure to point out that your friends should click the picture and post on THIS post not yours (so we can see every suggestion).

It started with a phone call and ended with one INCREDIBLE day.

This is a map of the race course for our first annual Jadon's Hope BUG RUN in Olathe KS. I just thought our Climb4SMA fans might get a kick out of the altitude and total ascent.
Wonder if Jim Baker can handle this after that Mt Aconcagua climb.
