TODDLERS have helped to create a special garden for their friend who died of cancer last year.
Youngsters at Elgin’s Jack n Jill preschool centre planted flowers, strawberry bushes and herbs in honour of Logan Main, who died of neuroblastoma aged three on June 30 last year.
A campaign to raise £350,000 to send him to the US for specialist treatment touched the hearts of thousands of people in the north-east.
More than £80,000 was raised but Logan did not live long enough to benefit from the money.
His parents Christopher, 35, and Angela, 36, of Dunbar Street, Lossiemouth, have used the funds to help other cancer-stricken children, and raise awareness of the disease.
So far about £16,000 has been donated to cancer charities and childhood victims.
There are plans to donate about £30,000 to fund research into neuroblastoma.
Logan would have graduated from the Wardend Place children’s centre at the end of this month to start primary school after the summer.
Yesterday, as she and her husband were putting the finishing touches to Logan's Rainbow Garden, Mrs Main said they were still grieving the loss of their son.
Mrs Main said: “It will be a year on June 30 since we lost Logan but it’s him that gets us up each morning to face another day. I know he’s still with us and we just want to make him proud of us, and will fight to save others going through what we have.”
Play centre owner Lynn Davidson said she was delighted that Logan’s parents wanted to create the garden at the centre.
She added: “I am pleased that they put the garden here because this is where Logan’s education began.”
