Hi everyone,

It is that time of year again.  It is time for me to help the kids of Arizona by training and finishing my SECOND Marathon.  I would like to thank all of you last year who supported me in my persuit and finishing of my first marathon last year. 

This year I would like to introduce my honor patient LOGAN that I am running for in this upcoming P.F. Chang's Rock & Roll Marathon, January 13, 2008.  I will be running the full marathon in Logan's honor. He is very spirited two and a half year old little boy. Having the chance to read Logan's website, it has given me great inspiration. Logan is a very outgoing, bright-eyed little boy. He has so much joy to give and her smile can just melt your heart.   Logan's favorite movies are Nemo and Toy Story 1 & 2.  His favorite colors are Red and Blue.

Logan has SMA. (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) is an inherited disease that destroys the spinal cord nerves that control muscle movement, which affects crawling, walking, head and neck control, and even breathing and swallowing.

Although SMA is as common as ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), it is not nearly as well-known because many of its victims die so young.

Currently, there is no treatment or cure for SMA. However, its cause is well understood and the "problem" gene has been identified. As a result, a cure could be on the horizon, but money is still needed to fund research and to help families that are currently impacted by this tragic disorder. 

So as you read this page please find it you heart to donate and help Logan and I accomplish our goal.  You also can learn more about Logan at his website; www.oursmaangels.com/logibear
