In 2013, Shannon and Christy Ginn traveled with their family to
China to meet their family’s newest addition. Faith was in an orphanage there and the Ginns were eager to bring her back to Pell City and wel-come her into their family oficially.
Since then, the now 6-year old has settled into her life consisting of two loving par-ents, three older siblings, and a welcoming community.
But on May 15, 2015, Faith became sick. She stayed home from school and spent the day resting. Upon waking from a nap, her parents no-ticed an alarming change in their daughter and feared she had suffered a stroke. They immediately rushed her to the hospital, where they learned she had a brain tumor that was bleeding.
Faith’s short life had not been an easy one. She had suffered a brain injury at birth and because of that, had se-vere brain damage. The or-phanage had not spent time working with her to help her develop motor skills, so she spent her days conined to a bed without much hope.
Little did she know, with her new family would come even more hope than anyone could have foreseen.
The type of tumor Faith has
is called a Pilomyxoid Astro-cytoma. Once they diagnosed her, she stayed in the hospital for nine days recovering.
Following her surgery, Faith is currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy treat-ments. She has chemo on Wednesdays.
Throughout the months of treatment, the outpouring of support from the Ginns’ neighbors and friends has been overwhelming for the couple.
“Every week when we spend the day at the hospi-tal for her chemo, we come home to dinner complete-ly prepared and waiting for us,” Shannon said. “It’s been amazing the way people have helped us, tangibly and intan-gibly. When she was going through surgery, people did our yard work, made us meals and constantly let us know we were in their thoughts and prayers.”
Shannon’s colleagues and students at Jefferson State Community College held a “Hope for Faith” rally to show their support for Faith and our family during her initial hospitalization. Also, one of the departments gifted Faith with approximately 20 hats on her birthday because her hair had started to come out from the chemo.
In addition to the St. Clair
County support, the J.O.Y. Quilters of Jacksonville hand-crafted a quilt for Faith. She uses it every week during her chemo treatments.
Faith’s classmates have been inding ways to support their friend, as well. Students at Coosa Valley Elementary School are running a lemon-ade stand and donating all proceeds to Alex’s Lemonade Stand, a national organization dedicated to inding a cure for brain cancer.
“Since her diagnosis, the other kids have been so willing to help fundraise for cancer because it is now a personal cause for them,” Shannon said.
Shannon and Christy have created a Facebook page for those wanting to keep up with Faith during her treatments. The page is called Hope for Faith.
How Faith found hope against cancerTo cancer, age matters not
Stephanie Smith reached up to feel the lump in her chest. It had grown signiicantly in the past two days,
she thought. She knew it was time to see a doctor.
Stephanie, 28, had noticed the lump ear-lier that week. She was lying down in her bedroom, attentive to her squirmy daughter, Adalyn, and as the two played together the toddler accidently hit Stephanie in the chest.
While normally the 2-year-old’s acciden-tal swat wouldn’t faze the young mom, this time was different. It caused a sharp pain. She got up and went to investigate and felt a lump she knew had not always been there. Soon after, her husband, Adam, conirmed her suspicions. The mass was not normal.
Stephanie checked it for the next two days, and she could tell that it was growing. Upon that unsettling realization, Smith saw her OBGYN.
At her appointment, the doctor adminis-tered a mammogram and ultrasound. After they ran the tests, Stephanie and Adam wait-ed in the room for what felt like forever, she said, thinking the whole time that something wasn’t right. Her doctor conirmed it when he inally came back to the room.
“It’s not good,” he told the couple.Stephanie and Adam were sent immedi-
ately to St. Vincent’s Birmingham to un-dergo further testing. Once there, Stephanie was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer, a form a cancer that develops in either the bone or soft tissues. She was advised to get a double mastectomy as soon as possible.
“I sat there, numb,” she said. “I had a sus-picion something was wrong, but I was not prepared for cancer at 28.”
The medical staff at St. Vincent’s sent a biopsy of her tumor to Vanderbilt University for a second opinion. Vanderbilt categorized
the mass as “very serious” and measuring 5 centimeters.
Because of the rarity of Stephanie’s par-ticular type of cancer, she was advised to travel to Houston to receive treatment from MD Anderson’s cancer center. After arriv-ing in Texas, she learned more about her situation.
Stephanie was told that she had undiffer-entiated pleomorphic sarcoma — a very rare form of breast cancer. A double mastectomy was inevitable.
After the procedure, she underwent in-tense and frequent chemotherapy treatment. Because of the type of chemo she needed, each treatment meant a six-day stay in the hospital.
“My family and friends were amazing; I always had someone with me during the day,” Stephanie said. “I didn’t realize how strong the community bond was before I had this experience.
“Going through something like that makes you realize that nothing is certain.”
Her doctor referred to her being diag-nosed with cancer as a “lightning strike.” completely random and unpredictable. A lack of family history does not always signi-fy safety from being diagnosed with cancer of any kind. Age is also not a determining factor in the conception or cancer.
In February of 2014, Stephanie complet-ed her last round of chemotherapy. After her long and tumultuous battle with cancer, she had inally beaten it.
Since being declared cancer-free, Steph-anie continues to work and reside in Pell City. “There is no place I’d rather raise my daughter than here,” Smith said, “I have the assurance she will grow up constantly sur-rounded by copious amounts of love and support.”
Stephanie Smith took on an extremely rare form of breast cancer at 28 years old that required a double mastectomy. She was declared cancer free last year after months of grueling chemotherapy.
Faith Ginn was adopted by a Pell City family in 2013. Two years later, she was diagnosed with brain cancer. Faith is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
Shannon and Christy Ginn traveled with their children to China three years ago to welcome their new daughter, Faith to the family. They have surrounded her with love throughout her ight with cancer.

St. Vincent’s Health System is calling for appli-
cants for its Clergy Wellness Initiative, which helps
local faith leaders meet their health goals through a
tailored wellness program.
Since the Clergy Wellness Initiative kicked off in
2012, the program has continued to grow across the
Birmingham area. Last year, more than 55 clergy
members participated in the nine-month program,
during which participants receive personal training
sessions, membership at St. Vincent’s itness centers and invitations to two monthly “Lunch and Learn”
sessions on a wide range of topics. This year, partic-
ipating clergy will celebrate their hard work at the
end the program by walking in the American Heart
Association’s Birmingham Heart Walk Saturday,
June 11.
“The Clergy Wellness program at St. Vincent’s
has had a greater impact on my health and wellness
than I could have ever imagined,” said Sarah Shel-
ton, a pastor at Baptist Church of the Covenant and
past Clergy Wellness participant.
If you’re interested in applying for this program,
please contact Tineciaa Harris, at (205) 558-
3597 or [email protected]. To apply, you
must be a licensed or ordained clergy member in a
senior leadership position of a local ministry. The
deadline for applications is May 1, 2016. The pro-
gram will start in August 2016 and continue through
June 2017.
