Spina bifida is a disorder that involves the incomplete developments of the spine, which can lead to many complications including urological issues. After posting her plea to a private social media page for Illinois families impacted by spina bifida, the donations poured in. We want to make sure that cost is not an issue when it comes to living a healthy life,” said Matt Larsen, executive director of the Illinois Spina Bifida Association. Larsen said the Illinois Spina Bifida Association is working to educate Illinois lawmakers about the cost of catheters.
