Regina Philipps is a fighter. She fights for her son, Shane, a 2-year-old boy who is living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and every other child who didn’t receive an SMA newborn screening. Shane wasn’t diagnosed until he was 10 months old, after Regina and her husband Chris noticed some strange symptoms about 6 months earlier.
