SMA is the number one gentic killer of children under the age of two and until Fall of 2011, my family, myself included had never even heard of it. At that point, Logan was diagnosed with SMA and changed our lifes forever. Logan passed away just shy of his first birthday, March 21. This annual event is a celebration of his life. Please join us to celebrate his second birthday as we Walk n' Roll for SMA. Click here for the Loving Logan Facebook Page! Families of SMA is the world’s leader focused on funding SMA research to develop a treatment and cure for the disease. The successful results and progress that the organization has delivered, from basic research to drug discovery to clinical trials, provide real hope for families and patients impacted by the disease. The charity has invested over $55 million in research and has been involved in funding half of all the ongoing novel drug programs for SMA.
Families of SMA is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, with 31 Chapters and 90,000 members and supporters throughout the United States. The organization’s work has produced major discoveries, including identification of the underlying cause and a back-up gene for the disease, which provides a clearly defined target for disease altering therapies. The organization is also dedicated to supporting SMA families through networking, information and services and to improving care for all SMA patients.
