“Whatever it takes….”
The fundraising group Team Spencer was set up by Rick and Ruth Steven in honour of their son, Spencer who was born in March 2006 with Spinal Muscle Atrophy (SMA) Type 1 and who died just seven months later.
SMA Type 1 affects about one in every 6,000 kids and is the most common cause of genetically determined neonatal death. The onset is sudden and most children born with the condition live for less than two years.
Team Spencer Day is organised by Rick and Ruth and is a fundraiser involving the WA baseball community. This year, the team were able to repeat the success of previous fundraisers and raised a staggering $8,000 which will go toward purchasing a number of Patient Controlled Analgesia machines (PCA’s). PCA’s allow children to safely administer their own pain medicine according to their individual needs.
