Some positive vibes! Meet our young member Rose, who has SMA Type I, and started receiving Spinraza in March 2018. Spinraza is a treatment for SMA and is approved for u18s in Ireland. Rose has made great progress since starting treatment and we are so delighted! #sma #spinraza pic.twitter.com/3DH9qGOHRE
