A Cummins Inc. employee, with the assistance of a non-profit organization, will lend his legs to help a special-needs athlete cross the finish line at the Mill Race Half-Marathon.
Logan Worley, 34, of Indianapolis, will serve as an “Angel Runner,” or an individual who completes an athletic endurance event such as a marathon or half-marathon while pushing an athlete with a disability in a specially designed wheelchair, said Kristy High, Indiana ambassador for Ainsley’s Angels of America.
The organization is a non-profit that advocates for the overall inclusion of the special needs community and strives to ensure that everyone can participate in athletic endurance events.
A technician at Cummins Inc. in Columbus, Worley will push High’s daughter, Kendall Jade High, a 15-year-old athlete from Russiaville with cerebral palsy and a seizure condition, along the 13-mile course.
