CHRISTOPHER AND EMILY
Novel gene therapy treatments have produced life-altering results for patients with spinal muscular atrophy. This doc short shows how the lives of siblings Christopher and Emily have been transformed thanks to revolutionary care.
“This story is told in an understandable, positive way and it captures the very essence of the children. I am so excited to share this with the Barrow Neurological Institute Advisory Board and donors.”
