Ray is a 17-year-old living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 (SMA), a progressive neuromuscular disease that causes severe muscle weakness. Diagnosed at just five months old at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Ray has faced countless medical challenges with strength, resilience, and an incredible outlook on life.
Despite it all, Ray continues to thrive. He attends high school in person, has been inducted into Honor Society, and will graduate this spring 🎓 He has already been accepted into several colleges and is excited to begin his next chapter!
Because Ray struggles with circulation and extreme cold, LMFF is proud to provide adaptive outerwear from Koolway Sports through our Fly Me To The Moon Grant Program, helping him stay warm so he can continue getting out, exploring, and living his best life.
