Ayden has spinal muscular atrophy, which can affect many things, but in Ayden’s case, it mostly affects his lungs, muscles, and spine. “Hoops Family Children’s Hospital has always gone above and beyond for Ayden,” said Ayden’s mom. “Ayden is a very medically complex child, but the staff at Hoops do anything and everything in their power to get him feeling better and back home.”

As a Hoops Ambassador, Ayden is raising support and awareness for the Child Life department at Hoops Family Children’s Hospital.
