Mothers as Disease Activists

"When your child is diagnosed with SMA, profound hearing loss, or any disorder, you as a parent have an urge to do all you can to make their plight much easier. I admire the parents I met who have done just that by going to Washington, or starting a walk to raise money for their cause."
-Attendee of the May 9, 2008 Fighter Mom Friday workshop

FighterMom™ is a program for any mom who not only cares for a child with a demanding disease or health condition, but who wants to get organized to defeat that condition by raising money, winning publicity, working with researchers, and making her case in Washington.

FighterMom™ was created by a group of moms fighting to win visibility and dollars to beat a disease that affects our children. Along the way, we've learned lessons that we want to share with ANY mom (or other family members or caregivers) fighting ANY disease or condition who wants to become an advocate and activist.

We are providing resources such as the Fighter Mom Manual and this web site for you to learn from and lean on.
