Zane and Avery Schmid were born in January 2009 to happy parents Hillary and Keith. Family and friends describe the twin girls as both beautiful and healthy. Everything seemed to be going perfectly for the Schmid family: they were blessed with two healthy daughters. However, on the girls' one month birthday their lives drastically changed.
Hillary and Keith discuss noticing less movement from Zane. During a routine check-up they mentioned their observations and soon found themselves on their way to the emergency room. After a couple days of tests, Sweet Baby Zane was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) - Type I. The most devistating: the disease was fatal and most children diagnosed will not live to see their first birthday. It was at that instant that Hillary and Keith, backed strongly by family and friends, decided to fight this horrific disease.
