SMA Awareness Project

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a rare genetic disease that weakens muscles and can take away a child’s ability to move, breathe, and live independently.

Watching my family struggle with SMA, Ive seen how deeply psychologically and financially it affects an individual and their loved ones. While treatments exist, they are extremely expensive and not accessible to everyone. Early diagnosis and support can completely change outcomes, but awareness is still too low.

I created this project to help contribute to changing that. This website is dedicated to educating others about SMA and turning awareness into real impact.

Every donation made through this page goes directly to Cure SMA and helps fund research, support families, and expand access to life changing treatments. This fundraiser also allows me to track the real-world impact of this awareness effort, showing how education can lead to meaningful change.

Watching my family scrape every penny to pay for treatment, I can assure you that even a small contribution can make a very large difference.
