Jadon Burks, nicknamed “The BUG”, was diagnosed with the terminal disease Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) on his 2 month Birthday. Jadon’s Hope was formed to make an impact in the fight against SMA and to help families “Dance in the Rain”.
Jadon’s Hope Foundation strives to promote educational awareness and fund research efforts for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, the #1 genetic killer of infants under the age of two, while also providing support for families affected by terminal childhood diseases.
The Inaugural Jadon’s Hope 5K Bug Run/Walk is on a quest to find a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Join in the fight against SMA and support “The Bug” aka Jadon.
