One of my fellow MoMs, Brook (DoubleWhammy), lost her baby girls, Sydney and Carynne, earlier this week. They suffered from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, type 1. Their funerals are tomorrow, which is also the day they would be six months old.
The multiples board is asking that everyone pay tribute to these sweet, beautiful girls by wearing pink tomorrow. A pink scarf, pink socks, a pink shirt. Whatever you have, wear it!
And while we're at it, let's help try to find a cure for SMA by signing the Petition to Cure SMA. SMA is the number one genetic killer of children under the age of 2.

This is Brook's post telling us about the girls' diagnosis: http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/9721385.aspx
Re: RP: Honor a Nestie mom and her girls
My staff's wearing pink tomorrow for this.
Prayers sent their way.
