SMA MONTH
August 29th, 2008
For many kids, spending time on a virtual world allows them a creative escape from the daily doings of life. For others it is a chance to feel a true sense belonging.
Many kids suffer from a disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, or SMA. This disease affects over 25,000 people in the United States. The disease limits a childs ability to move, such as walking, crawling, head movement, and even breathing or swallowing! Because of this, many kids cannot climb trees, enjoy playgrounds, or play outside with other kids.
However, many kids who have SMA have discovered the magic of virtual worlds. Communities such as Elf Island give kids who are ordinarily confined to the great indoors a chance to play and interact with other kids in a fun way. On Elf Island, we are dedicated to making a game accessible to all kids, especially those with special needs. Elf Island also empowers kids to make a difference and help special causes that help real people, animals and the planet!
With your help through entertainment, gaming and storytelling we hope to support causes like SMA! Everyone take a moment and grab a breath very soon you will be making a positive impact to those in need through Elf Island!

characters look flat i thought this would be a more wizard101 kind of graphics but i still like it
WOOT!
I want to thank Elf Island for listening to the kids who have raised their voice about the causes that are important to them and for showing them that you really do care!!!
does have SMA so this cause is very close to our hearts. To bring any kind of awareness to this disease is huge! SMA is the leading genetic killer of infants and toddlers but not too many people (even doctors) have even heard of it. If you want to help now, please take 30 seconds to sign the petition to end SMA at
