My Story…
Hi! It's that time of year again! I've been running that Falmouth Road Race for the past 3 years in honor of my daughter Kate to help raise awareness and funds for Cure SMA. When your child is diagnosed with SMA your entire perspective changes, your world is flipped on its head and the life you thought you would have is no longer. Perhaps, what is the most wonderful is that you realize that your strength and ability stretches so much further than you ever thought possible. What I have learned in the past 3 years is that it isn't all bad. There is so much good to be had and you just have to seek it out. Together we have raised over $60,000 for Cure SMA, can you help us reach our goals again this year?
Cure SMA and the SMA community has been there with us every step of the way from diagnosis to today. They celebrate milestones with us, grieve with us when times are hard and support us. This organization is critical to our success and survival. Kate has mobility because of the Panthera Micro Wheelchair they loaned to us. They sent care packages during the pandemic to help us stay safe. Most important is their commitment to driving research and advocacy. Kate has an opportunity at long term survival because of the dedication to research that led to treatment. That is how important this work is. Research to find new treatments and medications to help improve daily life and advocacy to educate about SMA and educate about disability rights.
I'm asking you, as I do every year, to help us in this fight to raise funds to support Cure SMA, an organization that has helped Kate and our family realize goals and find potential in ourselves that we didn't know were possible. Please give any amount you are able, no amount is too small. Thank you for supporting my family in our mission to advance the work of Cure SMA.
