Am I the only one that wishes they would spend some more $$ on bettering the quality of life of those WITH SB and a little less on the prevention stuff that isn't even proven to work???
Just asking..... :)
Nope, you're not alone... all the talk about "prevention" makes me feel like I did something wrong and I go through all the guilt. But I think there is a big need for education for women who may not know about prevention... And in our case, our local SB organization has given us a scholarship to attend the national conference that covers almost half of the cost for our family to attend. I think the money being spent on quality of life is a more local thing. The SBAA is a national organization and also a lobbying group. But I hear you. I would love to hear how 4b4the4th is going to help those individuals and families living with Spina Bifida as well as aid in the prevention.
