What is SMA? Current Research Fundraisers History of Our Foundation Contact Us


The Hope and Light Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit public charity founded in December of 2004 by Aaron and Stephanie Miller. Stunned by the diagnosis of their first child with SMA Type I, the Millers dedicated themselves to caring for their daughter and finding a cure for a disease they had never heard of. 

The mission of the foundation is to bring about a cure for SMA through research.  We also strive to educate the public about the effects of SMA, and educate SMA parents and the medical community about recent advances in patient care.

Our challenge is to save lives, and we believe a cure for struggling families is just over the horizon.  Please help by becoming a part of our growing army of supporters.  You will give these children hope!
