Doing it for Dexter and SMA

Dexter Stewart is a bright and happy 2 year old boy with an incredible smile. Shortly after his first birthday Dexter was diagnosed with Type 2 Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). SMA is a genetic neuromuscular disease which leads to progressive muscle wasting and weakness. It affects not only the muscles you can see such as the ones controlling his arms and legs but also all internal muscles which affect breathing, coughing and swallowing. We have dreams for Dexter to enjoy as many everyday experiences as possible and we greatly appreciate any support we receive to help turn these dreams into a reality.
