## Resource

Jesy Nelson’s heart-wrenching yet defiant journey as a mother to twin daughters diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy continues to ignite national conversation. Facing the daily realities of heatwaves, spinal jackets, and limited mobility, Jesy remains a fierce advocate for newborn SMA screening — a lifeline she believes could prevent future families from enduring the same pain. Despite overwhelming public support and a small but powerful milestone — one daughter sitting up unaided — Jesy is outraged by the patchwork rollout of screening, leaving 72% of the UK without access. Her voice, fueled by love and rage, demands equity: no child should have to fight for survival based on postcode.
