The MN Chapter for Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy 13th Annual Walk-n-Roll

Hello everyone! 

We are holding our annual Walk-n-Roll in Mounds View, MN at Silver View Park on September 14, 2013. 

The walk goes from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. with the actual walk beginning at 10:00 a.m.  We will be having lots of exciting things to do there!  Some of the things that you can do are walk or roll through our 5K course, win cakes and treats on the cake walk, eat and much much more! 

All of the proceeds will go to FSMA. 

A few facts about spinal muscular atrophy (SMA):

-It is the number one genetic killer of children under the age of two

-It is a motor neuron disease that affects the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, and swallowing

-1 in 40 people are carriers of the gene

Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy was created to help, support and provide information for families that have a loved one affected with SMA.  We also work very hard to find a cure for this disease.
