Okay kiddo, let me tell you about the Hirayama family. They are a family that comes from Japan. They are known for their love of art and have a very famous artist in the family named Hirayama Ikuo who painted many beautiful pictures of nature.
Now, let me explain something called motor neuron disease. This is when your body has trouble moving because the cells that help your muscles work stop working. Sadly, Hirayama Ikuo had this disease and it made it hard for him to paint like he used to. But he didn't give up, he kept painting until he passed away in 2009.
The Hirayama family wants to continue his legacy by sharing his artwork with the world, even if he is no longer with us. They also want to raise awareness about motor neuron disease to help people understand the importance of finding a cure for this disease.
So, the Hirayama family is a very special family who love art and want to make a difference in the world by sharing their beautiful paintings and raising awareness about motor neuron disease.
