SMA AWARENESS FOR SIENNA

My granddaughter Sienna has recently been diagnosed with SMA Type 1 and we would really love to get her some equipment to make her more comfortable and happy. Anyone that has had the privilege of meeting sienna would tell you what a happy little girl she is and we want to keep it that way xxx
SMA is caused by deterioration in the nerve cells (motor neurones) connecting the brain and spinal cord to the body's muscles.
As the link between the nerves and muscles breaks down, the muscles used for activities such as crawling, walking, sitting up and moving the head become progressively weaker and shrink (atrophy). Mental abilities are unaffected by SMA.
The term spinal muscular atrophy can be applied to a number of different related conditions.
