Running for Logan
Inspired by her son Logan — who lives with X-linked Juvenile Retinoschisis (XLRS) — Samantha Slack turned a personal marathon goal into a mission to support vision research. She shares how one simple question sparked a journey of running for hope, a brighter future, and most of all, for Logan.
