Cure SMA Canada

Lilah is 2 and a half years old with SMA type 1, and was diagnosed at 5 months of age. Lilah has a tracheostomy and is on a ventilator, but that doesn't stop her! She loves to color, make music, dance, play with baby dolls, and ride around in her wheelchair. Lilah does not like being told no, puppy dogs, and the summer heat.

She uses her big blue eyes to communicate, is learning sign language, and continues her fight against SMA.

DID YOU KNOW?
SMA type 3 is often referred to as Kugelberg-Welander, or Juvenile Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Children can present symptoms as early as 1 year of age, or as late as adolescence. A patient with type 3 can stand alone and walk, but may show difficulty with walking along their journey. They may fall more frequently once they begin walking, and may have troubles getting up from a seated position on the floor. With type 3, a fine tremor can be seen in the outstretched fingers , but tongue fasciculations are seldom seen.
