The seventh annual Logan’s Walk for Down Syndrome Awareness was a sunny occasion followed by even sunnier dispositions. Through this most recent edition of the local awareness and fundraiser drive, held on Sept. 27, $6,607 in donations was gathered.
This total may yet be higher still, as the Neepawa Banner & Press was informed on Tuesday, Oct. 6 that additional donations may be pending. However, the total was not available before the print deadline.
Reflecting upon the day, Brandi Cox, mother of Logan Cox, said, “It was such a beautiful day for Logan’s Walk. Thank you to everyone who came out and walked with us, to everyone who donated, and to all those who continue to support Logan year after year. It truly means so much to us and does not go unnoticed.”
The funds that were contributed by this year’s donors are all in benefit to this very community. All proceeds raised were directed to the Touchwood Park Association for the playground located near the cross-section of Commerce Street and Tupper Ave in Neepawa.
Including this year’s amount, a grand total of $18,334 has been contributed to the community structure.
“We couldn’t be happier to have donated the proceeds from Logan’s Walk to Touchwood Accessible Playground for the past two years, and again this year,” said Brandi. “It means a lot to us knowing that the money is going towards something that everyone living at Touchwood and people in our community can enjoy.”
Plenty of gratitude is extended from the Cox family to all who donated, and to those who were able to attend and participate in the walk. Yet there was even more gratitude to go around!
A barbecue and refreshments was available for all in attendance at the conclusion of the walk. Items for that barbecue were donated by local grocers. Additionally, there is plenty of work that goes into the maintenance of the Langford Walking Trails.
“A big thank you to Safeway, Giant Tiger and Co-op for donating items for the BBQ, and to the Langford Recreational Trails Committee for keeping the grounds so well maintained. It’s the perfect place to hold Logan’s Walk,” said Brandi.
