"For such a small person, he has touched thousands of people."

(Jeannette, PA)—Little Logan's story is heartbreaking, but the public's outpouring of love has helped to ease the sadness of the Pennsylvania toddler's battle with terminal cancer.

Now in what doctors state are his final weeks of life, his parents—Christine Swidorsky and Sean Stevenson—have moved up their wedding plans by a year, in order to combine their marriage vows with a celebration of their young son's life.

Two-year-old Logan will be his Daddy's best man this Saturday.

Following an article in the local media that has received national attention, the public has responded with a huge outpouring of donated wedding services and gifts for Logan.

"I knew that there were nice people out there, but I never expected this response," said Kellie Young, Logan's aunt.

Logan has undergone much in his short life; his rare disease of Fanconi anemia has led to removal of one of his kidneys; a stem-cell transplant, and now his remaining kidney has a mass on it.

Logan's siblings will also join in their parents' wedding, which will take place in the back yard of their Jeannette home on Saturday, according to the TribLive.com report.

"For such a small person, he has touched thousands of people," observed Logan's aunt, Kellie.
