Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A donation would be awesome however, awareness is key because not enough is being done to tackle the number one genetic killer in infants, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

If you can't donate, please, please, please share this page or the information/links below with friends and family.

I did not know what SMA was until 10 weeks ago, when me and my wife was given the devastating news that our then 3 year old daughter Alice, was born with an SMN1 gene mutation. She was diagnosed with SMA type 3.

As parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties, cousins, friends etc. we all wish and dream of amazing life outcomes for all children, especially our own.

To witness any illness or ailment take control of this path is truly heartbreaking.

There is no cure as of yet for SMA but there is medication available that would dramatically improve the quality of life for those who have this genetic disease. 

It is called Spinraza.

This is available on NHS Scotland but has not yet been made available to patients in England.

Please join us in our fight to make Spinraza available in England for children with SMA types 1, 2 and 3 by donating and/or sharing this post or it's info and massively improve the potential of many children living a higher quality of life.

Thank you so much in advance.

By the way, the training has been horrible! 

I'll be happy when it's done but my/our fight with SMA will continue!!
