Secure Phoebe's Future in Memory of Logan

On December 27, 2023, Logan Hickle was diagnosed with stage 4 small bowel cancer, just two months before his baby daughter was due. This rare and aggressive cancer, especially unusual for someone his age with no known genetic or environmental risk factors, took a devastating toll on Logan's health and his family. Even more heartbreaking, there is little research on this type of cancer, making treatment options scarce.

Over the course of the year, Logan endured unimaginable pain and countless medical challenges, including 8 hospitalizations, 9 surgical procedures including the placement of 5 stents in his digestive tract, 12 rounds of intensive chemotherapy, plus a few maintenance rounds, 4 bowel obstructions, 3 bouts of sepsis, 1 nephrostomy tube and bag, too many E.R. visits and doctor's appointments to count, 5 second opinions, cabinets full of medications, 3 NG tube placements and more.

Despite these extreme challenges, Logan faced each emergency with unmatched courage, all while diving into his new role as a father to his newborn, Phoebe.

Sadly, just days shy of the one year anniversary of his diagnosis, Logan passed away in the early hours of Christmas Eve. With no further treatment options available, he came home on hospice care, surrounded by his loved ones, where he passed with his wife Paula by his side.

Even in his final days, Logan's greatest concern was for the financial future of his newborn daughter. Though he did everything he could to provide for his family, your generous donations will help ease their minds by covering childcare, medical costs, and starting a college fund for Phoebe to ensure she has the brightest future imaginable. Thank you for your support during these challenging times.
