Come meet Gwendolyn and the Strong family at the TSR on Tuesday

The community is invited to meet the Bill and Victoria Strong family of Santa Barbara, Calif. when they stop by the Texas State Railroad's Palestine Depot at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 30.

The Strongs will be in Palestine on Tuesday as part of their campaign to drive 5,000 miles with their 20-month-old daughter Gwendolyn who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a paralyzing and fatal disease, across the country in an RV armed with banners, corporate sponsors and a call to action to end SMA.

A special event for media and community supporters is planned. The Little Engine That Could™ will be displayed at the TSRR during the event. The Strongs will say a few words about their journey, pass out information regarding SMA, and be available to speak to media.

The Texas State Railroad Palestine Depot is located at Park Road 70 on U.S. 84 East in Palestine.
