“Mere words cannot express what SBA has done for me. It not only helps provide programs related to my condition, but it provides a feeling of empowerment and kinship between the 166,000 in the U.S. who are affected by this birth defect. I have had the opportunity to make friendships that will last a lifetime. That is not something you can put a value to.”
-Will Dickey, adult with Spina Bifida

In 2008, we lost twins, one of whom had Spina Bifida, when I went into early labor at 24 weeks. We give so that one day no family will have to experience a loss like ours.”
