Victoria Strong

Victoria Strong founded the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation after her first daughter Gwendolyn was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare disease that made her very medically fragile. Determined to NEVER GIVE UP, Victoria set out to raise funding to find a cure for this terrible diagnosis. Though Gwen is no longer with us her legacy lives on through numerous child-centered inclusion projects including a new inclusive park in Santa Barbara!
