Sunday Morning Wake-up Call host Sean McCord talks with Charlottesville resident Kara McClurken whose infant son was diagnosed four years ago with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) is a disease that robs people of physical strength by affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, taking away the ability to walk, eat, or breathe. It is the number one genetic cause of death for infants. Since their son was diagnosed, Kara’s family has become active in the SMA community, advocating for early diagnosis, treatments, and additional research. More information about advancements in SMA support can be found at CureSMA.

On today’s Home Grown David and Leslie make a new friend and welcome back a member of the Home Grown family. First, the director of Woody Guthrie’s American Song Bryan Garey (UVA Heritage Summer Theatre Festival) talks about this upcoming show that’s not quite a musical, not quite a play, not quite a concert, but is all about the wonderful and legendary folk pioneer Woody Guthrie and his music. Next, Andy Davis from Bent Theatre Improv triumphantly returns to the show. This time Bent is presenting an 18 hour improv marathon, which may be the closest thing to a Charlottesville comedy festival that the city has seen in awhile.
