Baby Ava needs your help...

This is probably going to be a long blog post. But, just indulge me a bit. I've only known Ava for a short while, but I've already grown quite fond of this pretty baby. Baby Ava celebrated her 1st birthday not too long ago. She came in to see me for her first birthday portraits. Little Miss Ava looks just like any other one year old celebrating her birthday, but Ava happens to live with a genetic disease called SMA Type 1. Ava is beautiful, bright and as smart as any other one year old but she has lots of obstacles that she has to overcome everyday just so she can make it to her next birthday. Please help Ava by learning a bit more about SMA. It is a common, but not well known genetic disease. Ava and the other children with SMA need your help by signing the petition to fund additional SMA research....research that could help save Ava's life. I know her parents are reading, and I am certain that they really appreciate the signatures and I do as well.
