Inspired By A Cartoon, Bratt Student Raises Money For Children’s Hospital
January 3, 2010
Cold weather did not stop a a nine-year old Bratt Elementary School student and his 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.
Saturday, Logan walked around Tom Byrne Park in Atmore with friends Cameron Long, 8, and Triston Long, 10. They were joined by others that walked to raise funds for the children’s hospital.
It is not too late to make a donation…for more information email shanabelld33@hotmail.com. Donations can also be mailed to 7650 Hodges Road, Century FL 32535.
