SBAGNE means so much to me as an adult with Spina Bifida. I was involved as a child with my family, then got involved again as a young adult. The opportunities for mentorship, advocacy, and community outreach is amazing. It is so meaningful to be able to establish connections with other individuals with Spina Bifida. The friendships I've made are ones that will last a long time. As a Board Member, I've been able to expand on my leadership skills and become even deeply more involved in the broader Spina Bifida community. For that, I am so thankful.
Amy Bois-I could not be more proud to serve as Chair of the Board of Spina Bifida of Greater New England. I see first hand how much we impact the lives of our members. My son Tyler 15 loves the teen empowerment program as it brings together tweens, teens, mentors & parents for a weekend to have fun! We have met so many wonderful people through yearly events & have developed lasting relationships. I am very proud of our recent Fashion Show where we collaborated with SBANEY to have our members model clothing from adaptive clothing brands. This brought people together during a time when spirits needed to be lifted up.
SBAGNE is a tremendous organization that exists to serve a population that is often in need of support, resources, information, and companionship. I've greatly enjoyed my 10+ years as a board member and am grateful for the organization and the tremendous purpose it serves. As an adult with spina bifida, I couldn't be more proud of where the is today and the effectiveness of the entir eorganization.

We are so grateful for SBAGNE and the wonderful services they provide. As a mother to a young child who was born with spina bifida, this organization is so valuable to us. They have connected us to so many families who have become lifelong friends. It is so important for my daughter to meet others with similar challenges and for me to connect with other parents. We are also so thankful for the educational resources they provide
As a person with Spina Bifida, SBAGNE has been an amazing resource for information, activities and support. I have learned a lot that I had no idea about or things that existed for me to take part in. I can't imagine my life without their support.
Tell your story here and help others understand this charity Even though we live in Maine this organization has welcomed us with open arms. We worked to help raise money for them a few weeks ago and had a great time at the walk raising awareness and meeting other families. They are working with some families in Maine to start a regional group to help other families in Northern New England.
