The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation

The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation (GSF) was born out of Bill and Victoria Strong’s firsthand experience with their precious daughter, Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn was born perfectly healthy in October 2007, but was diagnosed with the terminal disease Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type I at 6-months-old.

As witnesses to the degenerative cruelty of SMA, Bill and Victoria are personally and passionately dedicated to leaving no stone unturned in raising awareness about and funding research for SMA and supporting families who are impacted by SMA and other life-altering diseases.

GSF seeks to raise awareness about and fund research for SMA, the leading genetic killer of young children, and support those impacted by SMA and other life-altering diseases

Research | Awareness | Support

Given the advanced and promising stage of SMA research, GSF will raise funds to further support existing research programs in pursuit of ending this horrible disease. In addition, as SMA is a relatively common yet little known disease, it is our intention to elevate awareness of SMA, a critical component to the endeavor of procuring a viable treatment and eventually a cure. Further, as parents to a severely disabled and terminally-ill child, we understand the need for effective, proactive assistance. As such, it is our goal to create programs to assist others in their most urgent time of need.
