PetitionToCureSMA.com is a grassroots effort started by Bill and Victoria Strong in support of the SMA Treatement Acceleration Act, which was initially introduced in 2007 and was reintroduced in 2009 in the current session of the United States Congress. The passage of this legislation will help END SMA, the #1 genetic killer of young children, and provide groundbreaking data for SMA and other disorders, including the muscular dystrophies, ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease, Friedriech's Ataxia, Fragile X syndrome, and Huntington's disease among others.
********
Our daughter, Gwendolyn Strong, was born perfectly healthy in October 2007, but was diagnosed with the terminal, degenerative disease SMA Type I at 6-months-old. Like all SMA children, Gwendolyn's mind and spirit are no different from that of any healthy child, but her body is failing her. After being told that there was nothing that could be done to save our baby, we started PetitionToCureSMA.com in July 2008 as something that we could do; a grassroots effort to drum up broad support for the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act. While we hold little hope that our petition or the passage of this legislation will impact our daughter's life, it is our passion to help raise awareness about SMA and further research towards finding that cure for future SMA generations.

About SMA Research
Although SMA is a relatively unknown common rare disease, scientific research and understanding of the disease is extremely mature and active. Dramatic breakthroughs have been made in the past fifteen years and, as a result of those breakthroughs, SMA has quickly gone from a poorly understood disease to being on the doorstep of a viable treatment.

About SMA
- SMA is the #1 genetic killer of young children.
- Fewer than 1 in 35 people unknowingly carrying the gene responsible for SMA.
- 1 in every 6,000 babies is born with SMA; SMA prevalence is comparable to ALS and Cystic Fibrosis.
- SMA impacts the ability to walk, sit, stand, eat, breathe, and swallow. SMA does not impact the mind and children with SMA are bright and social.
- There is currently no treatment and no cure for SMA, but there is HOPE!
- The NIH has selected SMA as the disease closest to treatment of more than 600 disorders.
- Leading U.S. researchers, including Nobel laureate James Watson, have stated that a viable treatment for SMA is possible within 5 years IF they are provided the proper resources.

********
The SMA Treatment Acceleration Act will:
- Provide Federal support for a national clinical trials network for SMA.
- Provide Federal support to enhance the SMA patient registry and for expanded research on the epidemiology of SMA.
- Establish an Interagency SMA Research Coordinating Committee to include federal agencies including NIH, SMA researchers, and SMA families, to coordinate government activities relating to SMA, develop a comprehensive strategy for improving and expanding SMA research, make recommendations to strengthen collaborative research across multiple institutes at NIH, and identify barriers to the development of drugs for treating SMA.
- Provide for the Secretary of HHS to establish a program to provide information and education on SMA to health professionals and the general public.

We the undersigned, as [people/family members of a person/friends of a person] with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), are writing to urge you to research and support S. 1158 and HR. 2149, the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act.
SMA is the number one genetic killer of young children, occurring in about 1 of every 6,000 births. It is estimated that 1 in every 35 people, or nearly 10 million Americans, unknowingly carries the gene that causes SMA. There is no known treatment for this degenerative, nerve destructive disease, but great research advances have been made, thanks to the efforts of passionate families and voluntary health organizations that serve the SMA community. In fact, among more than 600 neurological disorders, SMA has been singled out by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) as the disease closest to treatment based on scientists advanced genetic understanding of the disease.
In order to support the scientific and clinical community working to find a cure for SMA, the SMA community has united to introduce the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act. Passage of this landmark legislation will enable scientists to mount national clinical trials that will lead to treatments and/or cures for people inflicted with this horrible disease. Further, as researchers make progress unlocking a cure for SMA, their work is also making strides toward understanding and possibly curing a number of other conditions including ALS/Lou Gehrig's, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and many more.
Again, please consider researching and supporting the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act, S. 1158/HR. 2149 and thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

As a parent I want to make sure that my child, and future children, will have every opportunity to be healthy and happy. This disease takes away these hopes and desires of every parent and child it touches. If this bill can provide the opportunity to restore the promises and dreams of parents and the lives of the children suffering from it, then do what you were elected to do--to change this country for the better and protect its citizens.

I have been blessed with two healthy children. I have a friend who's daughter suffers from this disease. It breaks my heart to see what this has done to her life and her parents. No one should have to suffer from any disease, there needs to be funding by the government to find a cure. Research needs to be done to find a cure! Please pass legislation to help find a cure!

My dear friend of over 9 years tried for 3 years to get pregnant. After 3 years of trying she had a beautiful baby girl who at 17 months cannot walk. With recent blood testing they have found she has SMA. My friend is also 4 months pregnant with another child that may have this very same thing.

I have a dear friend who only had 3 weeks with her little girl due to SMA. I know I was moved by her journey as she welcomed her girl to life and stayed with her through death. It is then that I learned bout this disease, which is a truly brutal disease, leaving parents with incredibly difficult decisions to make. I am a 2 time cancer survivor, and usually put my advocacy efforts there, but I can not ignore the need for SMA to be conquered. Please learn more about this and imagine yourself in these parents shoes.

To watch one child suffer and one family's pain in MORE than too much! This SMA treatment Acceleration Act which was introduced in 2007 and now reintroduced in 2009 must be passed. This disease is a horrible existence and death that robs a child of all functions especially breathing, eating and moving. How cruel!
