Welcome to Silver Spring’s August 2010 Newsletter
August just started, but we’ve already been sweating our way through the hottest summer on record. On top of that, last week’s tornado/storm left many of our homes, businesses and street lights without power for several days. Not to mention the 5 am earthquake last month! Here’s hoping things turn around in August so we can enjoy these last few days of the summer! New this month: · Hurry!

Silver Spring Health: Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month
Photo from Families of SMA	Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease. The motor neurons affect the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, and swallowing. It is a relatively common "rare disorder": approximately 1 in 6000 babies born are affected, and about 1 in 40 people are genetic carriers. SMA affects muscles throughout the body, although the proximal muscles (those closest to the trunk of one’s body - i.e. shoulders, hips, and back) are often most severely affected. Weakness in the legs is generally greater than in the arms. For more information on Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month, visit SilverSpringCenter’s Health’s page.
