State Representative Dan Swanson and Randy, Tracy, Evan, and Lily Parlier talk about August as Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month with WGIL’s Tyler Gumm on Galesburg’s Morning News. Lily Parlier has SMA. Each year, Swanson presents a House Resolution recognizing SMA challenges and the pains families go through with their loved ones. A candle-lighting is held on the second Saturday of August to recognize those living with SMA and to raise awareness.
