Maggie's Cause

I would like to introduce you to our second cause, Maggie.


Maggie is 20 months old and was born with a terminal genetic disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I. SMA is the #1 genetic killer of infants and young children. There is no treatment, there is no cure. SMA is degenerative, eventually hindering their ability to walk, stand, eat, speak, breath and even smile. The average lifespan of a child with the diagnosis ranges from 8 months - 2 years old, although each case has varying degrees of symptoms. Maggie's older brother, Jonas, was also born with the same disorder and passed away at 3 years old, leaving a legacy behind that inspires and influences every person that knows of him.

Maggie's parents have been proactive with her care and she has been able to take study medications that have seemed to slow the progression of the disease. However, Maggie has still lost a lot of her abilities since she was born. Even though Maggie can’t do what a normal 20 month old can, she still has such a happy demeanor and loves to play with anything she can.
