If it came to a magic genie, I would ask him for two extra wishes. One would be that no one would have to live with the muscular dystrophy disease or any disease.

Mattie StepanekWe always have to choose to live our lives to the fullest. No one is better or worse than anyone else. We are different and beautiful.
Mattie StepanekA heartsong doesn't have to be a song in your heart. It doesn't have to be talking about love and peace. It can just be your message. It can be your feeling. Some people might even call it a conscience, even though that's not really what it is. It's your message, what you feel like you need to do.
