Logan's Fund held their very 1st Fun Day in the summer of 2010. All proceeds from a wonderful day were donated to FAN's Fanclub so that children with Neuroblastoma could share a fun experience together with parents and siblings. One of the first sacrifices that most families have to make when their child is diagnosed with Neuroblastoma is the possibility of a holiday or weekend trip to somewhere exciting. FAN's Fanclub makes this possible and it was a joy to know our Fun Day and the support of the people who attended, helped and donated has made this possible for other families via FAN.
