A five-year-old superhero named Evvy Wigington stunned Capitol Hill with her unstoppable energy—running, swimming, and even doing gymnastics despite being diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy as a baby. Accompanied by her mom Brittany, Evvy visited Washington D.C. for Family Advocacy Day, showing lawmakers firsthand how pediatric treatments, especially gene therapy, transform lives. Her story—and her sister Lainey’s care at Arkansas Children’s Hospital—highlighted the lifesaving role of Medicaid. Evvy charmed every member of the Arkansas congressional delegation with high-fives and fist bumps, earning praise as a “wildcat” who proves medical innovation lets kids live fuller lives. Before heading home, the family planned a kid-friendly adventure at the National Zoo and Children’s Museum—because Evvy’s still just a girl having fun, leading the way with joy and grit.
