Our son, Logan, was born 10/26/21 and was eventually diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome from rapid genome sequencing when we were staying in the PICU. He was a strong little boy but sadly passed away 5/22/22 just shy of 7 months. He was a happy little guy who loved music, lights and his favorite fox toy. My husband and I do competition barbecue and started a catering company called Marty Party BBQ, our logo is a Mardi Gras theme with a pig, we created a fox logo to keep Logan with us.
In 2023, we hosted our first fundraiser BBQ to celebrate Logan’s life and raise money for the foundation. We raised around $5,500 in 2023, $6,500 in 2024, and raised $6,600 this year. At our BBQ, we serve free meals for our friends, family and neighbors and ask for free will donations. We have been blown away by the support our support system has given us and are so happy that everyone comes together to celebrate Logan every year. This year we welcomed Logan’s little brother, Asher, and he was happy to help host our BBQ.
