An estimated 70,000 people in the United States are currently
living with Spina Bifida, the most common permanently disabling
birth defect. Spina Bifida occurs when the spine of the baby fails to close during the
first months of pregnancy. There are 60 million women at risk of having a
baby born with Spina Bifida. Everyday, an average of 8 babies
are affected by Spina Bifida or a similar birth defect of the
brain and spine.
