Logan Meincke, a fun-loving 3-year old from Walcott, IA, contracted e.coli last summer and it nearly took his life. He and his parents spent two months at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. The doctors and nurses helped Logan fight the e.coli, but during the battle to save Logan's life his kidneys were severly damaged; requiring a transplant.
Logan's mom, Jenny, was a perfect match and donated one of her kidneys to Logan on January 29, 2015. But the battle isn't over - as both Jenny and Logan recover there will be many trips to Iowa City for further treatment and tests. This will be a life-long battle for Logan and everyone that loves him.
We are hosting a benefit to raise funds for Logan's future medical needs this Saturday, February 28. Please help us spread the word - we are accepting cash donations and silent/live auction donations.
