MAGIC families go public to help children globally

Sept. 10, 2015 - PRLog -- Children are supposed to grow.

But what if they grow too little or too fast?

Is this important?

You bet it is!

Last year, the United States Senate, and Canadian health officials recognized the importance of monitoring children's growth as a significant sign of a child's overall health and passed Resolution S.R. 489 declaring the 3rd week of September as Growth Awareness Week!

How much a child grows is a major sign of his or her overall health. Health problems ranging from nutritional disturbances and hormone imbalances to serious conditions such as unidentified kidney problems or even brain tumors can all exhibit early signs by changing how much that child grows.

This is simple yet potentially life altering information experienced by thousands of families. It is the reason families from throughout the world are poised to send emails, tweets, Facebook posts and other online notices on Tuesday, September 15, 2015. The altruistic goal is to educate the general public regarding the value of watching how much a child grows.

This "lesson learned the hard way" is why Growth Awareness is so crucial to The MAGIC Foundation and its members. Families and supporters are selflessly going public, giving their time and energy to reach out to the world in an effort to help unidentified children who may be in the early stages of a serious medical problem.
