Dear Friends of FightSMA,

We are beyond thrilled to announce that on May 13, 2010, the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act (HR 2149, S 1158) officially broke 100 cosponsors in the House! We are delighted by this news and have YOU to thank!

Thanks to your hard work and dedication, we have reached our preliminary goal of 100 cosponsors and look forward to adding more names to the list.

In the 110th Congress, the SMA community built impressive bipartisan support for the bill and reached 85 cosponsors at the close of session. It is incredible and inspiring that we have surpassed that number in the 111th Congress.

Congratulations.

If your Congressman or Senators have not signed on yet and you’d like to see their name added to the list, we encourage you to reach out to your Members and let them know just how important this legislation is to you and to your community. If you’d like help with this outreach, please contact our office (carolinegibson@fightsma.com, 804-515-0080).

Thank you again for all you do to fight spinal muscular atrophy, the number-one genetic killer of children under the age of two.

Warmly,
Caroline Gibson
Public Affairs Coordinator
