Bratt Student To Raise Money For Children’s Hospital Today

January 2, 2010

Inspired by a cartoon, a nine-year old Bratt Elementary School student will hold a charity walk Saturday for Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital.

Logan Doremus was inspired to organize the walk after watching a PBS cartoon in which the character Arthur and his friends held a bike-a-thon for cancer research, his mother Shannon Doremus said. Logan had surgery at Sacred Heart for a rare bone condition in 2003, prompting him to raise money for the children and families served by the children’s hospital.

“He has a big heart and wants to do well,” Shannon said.

The walk will take place 1:00 Saturday afternoon at Tom Byrne Park on Lindberg Avenue in Atmore.  Logan is asking everyone that walks to donate $1 or more. For more information on the walk or how to make a donation, email shanabelld33@hotmail.com. Donations can also be mailed to 7650 Hodges Road, Century FL 32535.

    Anyway, auntie you too good job hon, it takes a village to raise a child.

    I would certainly like to take part in this walk, and donate to
    help this young man.

    I would also like to meet the parents who are raising such a promising
    young man.

    Thanks

    It’s great to know that young people are willing to help others. My niece and nephew, Jazzlyn and La’Derious, did a food drive for Christmas that they donated to the Manna Food Bank. I am so proud of our young people for caring about others. Good job Logan and to the other young people for helping and donating your time to others.

    What a fine young man! It is a blessing to see that there are still children out there who care for others, and are being taught to be helpful and kind. Good job Logan, and Mama Shannon! God bless you and your family.
