The mother of two-year-old Kaysen Martin says it's unrealistic for her family to raise the $2.8 million needed for her son's drug coverage.

A group of Edmonton moms is raising money for a toddler in need of an expensive, but life-saving, drug therapy treatment through a bottle drive.

Nearly two-year-old Kaysen Martin was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 (SMA 1) when he was eight months old. It's a progressive motor neuron disease that causes his muscles to weaken over time.
