SMA
spinal muscular atrophy
Renata
Renata is known on social media as Zaniczka. She suffers from SMA, and the first symptoms of this disease appeared at the age of 3. At the age of nine, she sat in a wheelchair, which she still uses today. Renata is very active professionally - she works as a university teacher - and socially. For her many years of activity on behalf of people with disabilities, she has been awarded many times, including the titles of Mazovian Lady D 2022 and Internet Personality in the Man Without Barriers competition. She has recently been taking medication for SMA and already feels a marked improvement. This allows her to think about the future with hope and optimism.
