Diagnosed with scoliosis—a curvature of the spine—in 2009, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children patient Logan of Dallas hopes to raise awareness about scoliosis to show others that it's possible to lead an active lifestyle with the proper medical treatment. The condition, which causes the spine to curve or twist into a "C" or "S" shape, affects two to three percent of school-age children. A runner for Greenhill School's cross country team and a swimmer for the Dallas Mustangs, Logan discovered that something was wrong during a sports massage and feared that she would no longer be able to swim or run. As part of the orthopaedic care she receives at TSRHC, Logan wears a brace on her upper torso to help prevent her curve from progressing. As a way to give back to the hospital, Logan created a website called Race for the Curve to encourage others to form relay teams through the MetroPCS Dallas White Rock Marathon and set a goal to fundraise for TSRHC, the race beneficiary. This year, Logan plans to participate in the 5-Person Relay.
