Born with spinal muscular atrophy, or SMA, Lindsay has not been able to walk since the day she was born.
“I am in a wheelchair because I was born with not strong legs, and I couldn’t walk or I couldn’t crawl or anything so I got a wheelchair when I was 2 years old,” Lindsay explained as she sat beside her brother Trenton.

Often subject to constant stares from other children, Lindsay’s brother makes sure she feels like every other child in any way he can.
“My whole life would probably be different if she didn’t have this disease,” Trenton said when describing the enormous positive impact Lindsay has had on his life.

Participating in a 5K walk every year in support of his sister, Trenton does his best to raise money towards developing a cure for Lindsay’s SMA so she can walk alongside him one day.

“She is one of the center priorities of my life, and I would take a bullet for her, and she is just my best friend and I would do anything for her,” Trenton said as he tried to hold in his emotions before breaking down into tears.

Learning to fight through these challenges together has made the siblings incredibly close, and both Lindsay and Trenton have become stronger with each other’s support.

Lindsay has already overcome a lifetime of obstacles as she fights her SMA, and with Trenton on her side, this brother and sister have no plans of giving up.
