It all started five years ago with a little jar. All this wouldn’t be possible without our board of directors, each person on this team is also a volunteer, taking time out of everyone’s daily lives. Everyone is a mom, a student, a wife or a daughter with other things going on, with one common goal. Each year we honor some who has been affected by these often debilitating diseases, and this year we are honoring Robert Logan. ”
Robert’s wife Kayla Logan said after suffering from the disease he died last year, and thanked everyone who came for showing their support for Robert and other sufferers.
