#SMAtakesmuscle: TAKE A STAND FOR MUSCLE IN SMA

We’re excited to introduce #SMAtakesmuscle, a new movement that acknowledges how muscle shapes daily life with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Yes, SMA takes a lot from the people who live with it and their caregivers, and it takes even more inner strength to face each challenge with grit and resilience. #SMAtakesmuscle is a unique opportunity for you to share how you use muscle day to day, and to speak up about the importance of muscle-focused approaches to care.
 
Why does muscle matter to you? We want to know about creative ways you use muscle to adapt in daily life, moments of independence, big or small, and challenges you’ve overcome by muscling through. Together, we’ll highlight the community’s strength and the critical need to address muscle in SMA.
 
Each month we’ll introduce a new theme and invite you to share your story. Join in on any social channel—just post with #SMAtakesmuscle to be part of the conversation.
 
We’ll be highlighting some standout posts on our website, so be sure to check back. Let’s show the world what SMA takes: strength inside and out, and the belief that progress doesn’t have to end here. Join us and muscle on with #SMAtakesmuscle!
