NEW CASTLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A small town in Kentucky is coming together to support one of its youngest residents.
Logan Jewell Dewitt, an 8-year-old girl battling brain cancer, has inspired an outpouring of love and support from the New Castle community. To help with Logan's mounting medical expenses, New Castle Nursing and Rehabilitation is hosting a color run this Saturday, June 21.
The event, which will take place at John Logan Brent Community Park, is not just a fundraiser—it's a celebration of Logan’s courage and the strength of the community.
From chemotherapy and radiation to multiple surgeries, Logan’s journey has been a challenging one. Despite enduring these treatments since she was just 9 months old, those who know her say Logan remains resilient.
"She’s very spunky, very sassy, but also very kind-hearted," said Kendyl Browning, Logan’s cousin. "Looking at her, you would never know the battles she’s fought. She's so strong, and yet so sweet."
Diagnosed with a rare tumor called pilomyxoid astrocytoma, and a disorder known as diencephalic syndrome, Logan has faced years of medical treatments. With another round of treatment looming, her family and friends are rallying to help.
How you can help:
The color run will take place from 6-8 p.m. at John Logan Brent Community Park, with registration starting at 5 p.m. Participants can sign up online at Logan's Fight by clicking here, or register in person on the day of the event.
Karli Woods, the activities director at New Castle Nursing and Rehabilitation, said the event is about more than just raising money.
"Knowing what Logan has been through, and everything her family has faced, this event is our way of coming together as a community to support her," Woods said.
The color run will not only raise funds for Logan's ongoing medical treatments, but also give the community a chance to come together to show their love and solidarity.

The community is invited to participate and help brighten Logan's journey as she continues her fight.
