SMA Gala Dinner - a touch of purple



Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neurological condition that is inherited and leads to weakness and premature death. In its most severe form, babies usually die by 1 year of age. Cathy has cared for a few infants with the condition and become involved with the support association for SMA in Australia. She ran in their fun run earlier this year and got a group of friends and family together to attend their charity Gala Dinner. The theme was a touch of purple so we all got dressed up and had purple masks to wear on our table. One of the auction items was a helicopter flight for 4 people over the city so David managed to be the successful bidder and we look forward to that later this year.
