Raising SMA awareness across the airwaves
On August 27th, FightSMA Southwest/Desiree’s Buddies held the 3rd Annual Spinal Muscular Atrophy Golf Classic at Isleta Eagle Golf Course in Albuquerque. Through events like this, the New Mexico chapter works tirelessly to raise awareness of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), funding for research, and support for the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act. While preparing for this year’s golf tournament, Desiree’s Buddies’ supporters happened to meet Darren Arnold, the sales manager for KNKT 107.1 FM and KLYT 88.3 FM. Moved by the cause, he helped the chapter produce a commercial which aired multiple times in the days leading up to the golf tournament, and he arranged for Karin Vallo, the chapter president, to be interviewed during a mid-day talk show.
