Third edition of ‘Run for SMA' to be held on August 10 at Gachibowli Stadium
The third edition of Run for SMA will be organised by the Cure SMA Foundation of India at Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad on August 10. The event is part of the global Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Month observed in August.
A press conference announcing the event was held at the Cyberabad Commissioner's office, with Commissioner of Police Avinash Mohanty unveiling the poster and extending his support to the awareness initiative.
He said that while SMA treatment is important, prevention through awareness and early screening is even more critical. He appreciated the SCSC Health Forum for organising the event and noted that such efforts are essential, especially since treatment is expensive.
Srilakshmi Nalam, Co-founder and Trustee of Cure SMA India, said there is a need for collaboration between doctors, research bodies, companies and the government to build a support system for families.
