Welcome to
Trisha Morales'
Website

Trisha is 15 years old and has been diagnosed with SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) TYPE II+.  SMA is a form of Muscular Dystrophy.  She was diagnosed at the age of 2. This is a terrible genetic disease that there is no cure for.  One in every 6,000 children are affected by SMA, and one out of 40 people carry the gene. 
 
She experiences extreme muscle weakness and fatigue.  Her arms and legs are very weak, although she is still able to walk, but does utilize an electric wheelchair. She is not able to walk up inclines or steps and often her legs "just give out".
