Last August, Emma was diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. SMA has already taken away the use of her legs, and it will slowly take away the use of every other muscle, including her lungs, unless a cure or a treatment is found. Fortunately for Emma, she lives in a time when medical science is advancing by leaps and bounds. Many in the SMA community believe that a treatment is only a few years away. The NIH chose SMA for its accelerated drug discovery program, and drugs are just one of the promising potential treatments. On April 30th, the CT Chapter of FSMA is having its annual walk-a-thon fundraising event. All of the money raised will go to the parent FSMA organization, and they give the money directly to the researchers working on the potential treatments.

Imagine if your little Beauty Queen couldn't walk the runway anymore? Well Emma can't walk it but it doesn't stop her from being on that stage. Emma will be hostessing the Miss & Mr Elegance Pageant in August as the Lifetime Queen. She still loves that stage and gets on it whenever she can!!

Let's help Emma and maybe they can find a cure and who knows, maybe someday Emma WILL be walking that runway!!!
