Woman with rare muscular disease sings to exercise her lungs. Her songs inspire others to chase their dreams
CNN
Songwriter Tabitha Haly loves to sing but her singing serves another purpose. It's a technique that helps keep her lungs strong as she deals with spinal muscular atrophy, a degenerative condition that affects muscle movement and respiration.
"If I can't sing a certain note or hold it long anymore, I know that maybe I've gotten weaker," she told CNN. Spinal muscular atrophy, also known as SMA, is a genetic disease striking one in 10,000 children worldwide.More Related News
