Kristen, mother and caregiver, is optimistic about the bright future that lies ahead for Jack, her 9-year-old son living with spinal muscular atrophy. At just a few weeks old, Jack’s diagnosis left Kristen struggling to navigate a world of unknowns. But through every uncertainty and every challenge, Kristen has stayed by Jack’s side, leading with love and support.
