Last year, the Nyhuis family and their friends, family, and community organized their first lemonade stand to raise funds to support FightSMA’s mission to strategically accelerate research toward treatment and cure for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a deadly crippler and the number-one inherited genetic cause of infant death. Calling their group “Tatum’s Team,” after the young girl diagnosed with type 3 SMA, they raised $250.

On June 5th, they were at it again, holding another lemonade stand. This year they’re efforts were rewarded 500% as they raised $1,500 from supporters in their Virginia neighborhood and across the country who want to join the fight to end this disease.

Thank you to all the members of Tatum’s Team for your fantastic work!
