Mara Jade - Brittle Bone Disease

Born with a severe case of brittle bone disease, MaraJade has suffered countless broken bones.

While medications helped, surgery at Memorial Hospital for Children changed her life.

Now with implanted metal rods supporting her arms, a happier, stronger MaraJade can throw knockout punches on her Wii game.

MaraJade is February's featured child in the free 2011 Memorial Hospital for Children calendar, available in King Soopers/City Market stores while supplies last.

This is definitely such a terrible disease. The kids go through so much on this. I hope to find a cure for this. So many need the help. teeth whitening toronto
