Nora received her iPad from Santa (actually from a few very kind and generous individuals that contributed to make Nora's 2nd Christmas magical). Nora is dying from SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). SMA is the #1 genetic killer of infants and 90% of Type-1 SMA kids don't live to see their 2nd Christmas or even their first. SMA is a horrible disease that weakens all the voluntary muscles of the body. Cough, sitting, standing, swallowing, hands, fingers, toes - everything skeletal is affected.

SMA is close to a cure - hopefully it's in time to save Nora.. Please visit http://www.goodentree.com (Nora's website) to learn and spread the word about SMA.

  • I hope that one day there will be a cure. Children don't deserve this, it's not fair.

  • @torylinnangel I could not agree more with your comment.

  • poor kid, really makes you wake up and realize how lucky you are just to be able-bodied

  • @mininick0001 Thank you. This is the first comment in a while that really summed up the purpose of the video. Thanks again

  • is she better?

  • @quinte98 no, the disease she has is called Type-1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy which is terminal. She is so much weaker now since this video was filmed. SMA is a horrible disease. Thank you for your interest.
