Following our son's diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), we worked with the Governor's office to have August declared SMA Awareness Month in NH. Governor Hassan is only one of a handful of Governors to issue this type of proclamation for SMA and we are so thankful her support of the community. Pictured to the right, is 16-month-old Bodhi with his official copy of the Governor's proclamation.

I work part time, have my own pyrography shop on the Etsy website (Bswoodburnings) and the Special Ed director at my kids school asked if I'd meet with other inclusion parents and help them with the stuff they are struggling with and share my knowledge and what I'm learning from Leadership.
