Welcome to FightSMA Canada

Fight SMA is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a treatment or cure for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the leading inherited killer of children under two.

Our foundation is a registered Canadian charity which is 100% volunteer driven. The money we raise goes directly towards accelerating the research to find a cure or treatment and to help the families that have been devastated by this disease.

Anyone interested in learning more about spinal muscular atrophy should first visit the Fight SMA Spinal Muscular Atrophy Guidebook. It contains the most up-to-date information about SMA type 1, type 2, type 3, and type 4 / adult onset, written by one of the leading experts on the neuromuscular disease. The guidebook also provides information on diagnosis and tests and spinal muscular atrophy treatment, as well as help and support for spinal muscular atrophy parents.

We hope you find our website to be helpful, and will consider joining the fight. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
