August is SMA Awareness Month.

What is SMA? Spinal Muscular Atrophy is the number one genetic killer of infants and toddlers. One in 40 people are carriers of the gene responsible for the disease. It affects children like little Logan who valiantly fought SMA right up until the disease took his life.

He was just 10 months old.

Logan’s legacy is giving hope to other families who are dealing with SMA. The Logan Ruth SMA Foundation is working to raise awareness of SMA and help the search for a cure.

Join us for Logan Ruth SMA Foundation Spirit Night at Chick-fil-A Tuesday, Aug.13 5-8 p.m.

If you’d like to learn more, call us!
