MISHAWAKA, Ind. -- Bethel University is hosting a charity basketball game Saturday to raise funds for a local teenage girl with spinal muscular atrophy, or S.M.A.
Ella Hunt was diagnosed with the disease when she was a baby.
Doctors didn't expect her to live past the age of 12. But Hunt has beaten those expectations as she's now thirteen years old.
Living with S.M.A. means she's wheelchair bound since she can't move or breathe on her own.
The university hopes to raise $15,000 for the family to install a new wheelchair lift for their van.
Bethel University’s men’s basketball team will play Indiana University of South Bend on Saturday at 3 p.m. in the Weikamp Athletic Center on Bethel’s campus.
Tickets are $3 if purchased in advance and $5 the day of.
Fifty percent of proceeds will go toward supporting Hunt
