Life in Motion: Landon’s wish

For nearly half his life Landon Ramey has been wishing away his birthday. This year, he’s at it again.

Landon turns 10 in just a couple of days and, instead of presents, he’s again asking for dog and cat food donations for a local animal shelter. “He wants to make this the biggest donation he has had,” explains his mother, Jade Ramey of Mt. Airy.

Landon chose to help the White County Animal Shelter this year because that’s where his grandparents adopted this cute guy named Luke.

Landon has been asking for donations in lieu of birthday presents since he was six. The idea was sparked by an encounter with a stray dog. This year the donated food will go to the White County Animal Shelter. Landon chose the shelter because his grandparents recently adopted a dog there.

If you’d like to contribute and help make Landon’s wish come true, you may drop off your donations at the Hayes Chevrolet car dealership in Baldwin.

Landon will deliver the food to the shelter on Wednesday, June 5.
