| Cookies 
			for Ava | 







| On Sunday, August 29, 2010 the newly 
			established Cookies for Ava Fund had their first bake sale at 
			Knollwood Church in Mobile, AL.  All of the proceeds  were 
			donated to FSMA, and
			
			the Alabama chapter collected a total of $700!  Ava Renee 
			Johnson was born on February 26, 2009 to Ebony and Corneilus 
			Johnson, and was diagnosed with SMA Type I at five months old.  One 
			evening at the end of June, Ava was sent to the hospital when she 
			stopped breathing.  She spent almost two months in the local 
			children’s hospital and went through two surgeries to get a trach 
			and g tube installed.  To celebrate her homecoming and SMA awareness 
			mont  h, 
			they decided to have the bake sale in her honor to help raise funds 
			for Families of SMA.  The family felt so supported through this 
			whole ordeal that they wanted to give back to FSMA. |
