Dear Friends of FightSMA,

For the past two decades, FightSMA/Andrew’s Buddies Corporation has been dedicated to finding a treatment or cure for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the number-one genetic killer of babies under the age of two. FightSMA has brought attention to the disease through national and local media outlets, and the organization has worked tirelessly to raise money to fund critical research studies and campaigns. Thanks to the generous support of our friends in the fight, FightSMA has funded SMA researchers at academic institutions and biotech corporations in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Canada. We have been involved since the initial (and successful) search for the gene that causes SMA and continue in the more recent efforts to identify compounds which can compensate for the faulty gene and, ultimately, provide treatment for the disease. (Read more about FightSMA’s work.)

We have been able to accomplish many great things over the years, thanks to the ongoing dedication of our friends, like you.
