This needs to get a lot of attention..15000 people have died worldwide with this infection. We do not educate our kids and families about this disease as we should. Over the past few weeks over 6 people have died that I am aware of. I am 13...the girl in the pic on the link I provided was 15! Please join the cause and help spread the word.
