Who is Steven Potter?

This is the 7th Annual Steven's Walk.  At the walk, we have live music, food, special guest appearances and Chinese auction baskets (tickets are $10 a sheet).  We start off with a stretching exercise to live music to get pumped.  Then, Steven leads the gang around the park twice, which is 2.20 miles total.  It is a really fun day for family, friends and even the pet dog!

Spinal Muscular Atrophy is the number one genetic killer of children under the age of two.  SMA is an inherited and often fatal disease that destroys the nerves controlling voluntary muscle movement, which affects crawling, walking, head and neck control, and even swallowing.  Two new-born children are affected each day in the United States, approximately 1 in 6,000 live births.  One in every 40 people carries the gene that causes SMA, which means there are more than seven million carriers in the United States alone.  Currently there is no treatment or cure. 

Families of SMA is an international nonprofit organization founded in 1984 with the mission to find a treatment and cure for SMA.  FSMA is made up of more than 65,000 members and supporters and has funded more than $50 Million in leading research programs since its inception.
