Adyn’s Dream was created from Adyn’s desire to help other families impacted by the harsh realities of being born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Adyn wanted to help provide assistance to these families, and knew that this money could be raised through hosting live music events
The Adyn's Dream Team has a goal of raising $5,000 through this year's Race for a Reason!
What is SMA?
SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) is a disease that robs people of physical strength by affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, taking away the ability to walk, eat, or breathe. It is the number one genetic cause of death for infants.
SMA is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron gene 1 (SMN1). In a healthy person, this gene produces a protein that is critical to the function of the nerves that control our muscles. Without it, those nerve cells cannot properly function and eventually die, leading to debilitating and often fatal muscle weakness.
