Twin sisters Avery and Kennedy from California were diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 2 when they were infants. Now, they are featured on MDA Shamrocks available across the country this year. They love being involved with the Shamrocks program because it helps fund their favorite part of MDA: dance parties at MDA Summer Camp!
