Laps For Logan

Our friend and Paxson student, needs our help.

Logan Wilson, after 6 years of brain surgeries, therapy, arthritis, asthma and finally getting to start school now needs surgery on his hip for osteoarthritis. During Thanksgiving, in Seattle, Logan’s surgeon will break his pelvis, cut his muscles and ligaments, and put him back together again. This will preserve his ability to walk on his own. After that he will spend months in a body cast and wheelchair. After a year of intense therapy, he will walk on his own. As you can imagine, this is a challenge for Logan’s whole family. Well, we want to help.

We want Logan to know that after all his hard work, this surgery can happen without so much chaos. We want him to see this as a step to limiting his future pain. We want him to know he is loved and cared for. We want it to be a time when he and his parents don’t have to worry about how to afford all of this.
In order to help with this gigantic task, we are having a “Laps for Logan” event on Monday, November 21st starting at 3:00 pm, until 5:00 pm.

We are encouraging all kids and kids at heart to get sponsors for each lap walked around Paxson School. The pledge sheet will outline the steps to getting sponsors. You can ask for people to sponsor you per lap, or to sponsor you regardless of how many laps you walk. This will be a fun event, with prizes, music, refreshments, and, best of all, FRIENDSHIP!!! And to show Logan we care. All funds raised will go into a bank account that will help the Wilson family with expenses such as :
Money for travel expenses - $1575 has already been given, leaving $1925 left to raise (this assumes we don’t need more money for housing/tickets based on the date change Airline miles/vouchers for plane tickets. The flights will be through Alaskan Airlines

Help with and materials for building a temporary ramp into our house

Please consider helping Logan and the Wilsons during this challenging time. For more information, please contact Sue Furey.
