Maya Czerminska was born in May 2008. She has always been a very happy girl, and we haven't noticed anything different about her until she was about 10 months old. At this point she would have attempted crawling for several weeks, but never actually got to it. Instead she was becoming considerably weaker to the point where she could not turn from side to side. Few months of doctors appointments and countless test later she has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2 (SMA 2). It is not curable, rare genetic condition which causes poor muscle tone, and general muscle weakness.
Maya is not able to stand or walk on her own. She has surprised all of us (including her physiotherapist Naomi) with her achievements in last months. You will be able to read about it on her website. Maya enjoys seeing her friends, and with the help of good people, the correct therapy and equipment she will be able to participate in most activities of a typical three year old.
