“I have met thousands of special-needs families, each with their own story and set of challenges; but the Snedekers are truly exceptional. Paige’s love for God and passion for life is made all the more glorious in contrast to her severe disability – and as a quadriplegic mouth-artist myself, I am so impressed with her artistic talent.”

— Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

Paige’s older twin brothers, David and Tyson, were also affected by RTD. After 27 years of searching for an answer, Paige and her family were thrilled to finally find a diagnosis.Unfortunately, David passed away when he was 15.
