physical challenges and I'm happy to lend my name in support of your campaign to raise awareness

Michael Clancy, veteran photojournalist who was hired by USA
Today to photograph a Spina bifida corrective surgical procedure
that was preformed on a twenty-one week old fetus in utero.
Prior to being asked to photograph an experimental in utero fetal surgery,
I had no real knowledge of Spina bifida. However, after capturing the picture of
Samual Armas reaching from his mother's womb, I've become increasingly aware
of the need for a cure. Samuel's little hand brought about an awareness of the right
to life for the unborn. His existence has brought about the awareness of the value of that
life! From making history as the youngest interaction made between an unborn child and
This surgeon to a swimming champion at the age of 9 years old! Now, thats worth the cure!!!
Bless you,
Michael

Robert-
Inspiring to see adversity turned into challenge and advocacy.
Sometimes it seems we are given specific hurdles, just for that reason.
I support your cause, and wish for greater understanding and education.
I encourage all to become aware of the issue of Spina bifida, and how it could
hit any one of us or our children.
Life is short, physical being transitory. God speed!

Rutger Hauer, actor best known for his roles in Blade Runner, Blind Fury & Batman Begins.
Dear Robert,
Each year thousands of babies are born with Spina bifida. Spina bifida
is a developmental birth defect caused by the incomplete closure of the embryonic
neural tube. and there is no single cause of Spina bifida, nor any known way to prevent it entirely.
In order to enhance their quality of life the main target now is to allow them to develop themselves to
their fullest potential. People affected by Spina bifida are special people. They learn to work very hard
everyday just to stay healthy. And I have not seen people more grateful for what life has to offer.
We should all stand by them in this fight-a fight that can be won. With more research, more awareness,
more support, more hope. and a commitment and dedication from our governments.
Take care,
Rutger
