In February
of 2001, Joe and Mary McHale took their gurgling, smiling,
six month old son Danny in for a checkup. After ten
minutes with the physician, they were informed that
their happy little boy had a neuromuscular condition
called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and it was terminal.
When Joe and Mary asked what could be done for little
Danny, the physician said: “Nothing. Take him home
and love him in the time you have left.” He wasn’t
expected to see his first birthday. Unwilling to accept
this prognosis, the McHales called “Families
of SMA” that afternoon. They were told: “Yes, there is hope.”
