4B4The4th - A Spina Bifida Fundaraising Campaign


Hello Everyone!
As many of you know Rhianna, the youngest Prince Family member, was born with Spina Bifida. It has been a life changing event for all of us and her persistence to overcome obstacles amazes us daily. She is getting to the age of awareness - awareness of her differences socially and physically as well as the need to have others understand about her challenges, about Spina Bifida.
We’ve made a commitment to support the vital work of the Spina Bifida Association (SBA). They launched an awareness and fundraising effort called 4b4the4th to support people with this birth defect.

If you don’t know what Spina Bifida is, it is the most frequently occurring permanently disabling birth defect. Every day about eight babies born in the United States have Spina Bifida or a similar birth defect of the brain and spine.

Approximately 185,000 people in the United States are living with Spina Bifida. More children have Spina Bifida than have muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis combined. Find out more information on this challenging complex birth defect by visiting http://www.spinabifidaassociation.org/.

Now we would like you to join the cause. Support 4b4the4th by reaching out to 4, 40, 400 or 4,000 friends to each donate $4, $14, $40, $400 or more before the 4th of July – all in an effort to raise $100,000 to benefit the SBA and let more people know about Spina Bifida.

Please make a donation of $4, $14, $40, $400 or more by clicking www.spinabifidaassociation.org/4b4the4th to support SBA.

As always if we can answer your questions about Spina Bifida please let us know. Rhianna is happy to tell you all about her life - good and bad! When a kiddo like Rhianna loves life as much as she does don't they deserve to have you support them!


Andrew, Isabela, Nick and Rhianna (age 2).
