Having Faith in MDA’s Spinraza Research

Описание: Meet Faith, a 7-year-old girl from Waco, TX, who lives with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type 2 and is MDA’s National Ambassador. Today, Faith is currently receiving and benefitting from the latest FDA-approved SMA treatment, Spinraza. The drug has already had a dramatic impact on Faith’s life, improving her upper body strength and respiratory function (she can now lift things, take the lids off of markers, hold a glass, brush her own teeth. The biggest thing, though, is that she’s able to breathe better). Faith is a very active little girl (she loves to dance and cheer) and continues to prove that she will not let SMA slow her down.
