Spinal Atrophy Awareness Month

Spinal Atrophy Awareness Month was founded by the Cure SMA organization, specifically as the idea of a member of the organization�??s community, Shaakira Thomas. Since it was first started in 1996, this event and its organizers have been working to improve public knowledge and awareness about SMA, while pushing advancements in research for understanding and treatment of this disease.

Each year, the Cure SMA organization sponsors Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month and offers an array of opportunities for individuals, families, schools, medical professionals and community groups to get involved.
