“FightSMA is thrilled to be involved with the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team for the second year in a row,” said FightSMA Canada president, Tracy Lacey. “As spinal muscular atrophy is a disease that is so close to the finish line in terms of finding a cure, partnering up with Graham Rahal is a natural fit for us.”
