Life Scout donates lily pads for young oncology patients at Wolfson Children’s Hospital

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Starting Monday, oncology patients at Wolfson Children’s Hospital will have new, fun ways to walk around and socialize. It’s all thanks to the help of a local Life Scout. Action News Jax Courtney Cole got a look at how the project will make a difference in the young patients’ lives.

QUICK FACTS:

• Luke Moshos is a Life Scout member of Troop 277
• Moshos started researching the lily pad idea online for his Eagle Scout project.
• Moshos told Action News Jax another young man originally thought of this idea, but passed away around age 17 from cancer.
• Lily pads will allow young patients on the oncology floor of Wolfson Children’s Hospital to help them get out of the room a little easier --even help make it fun.
• Moshos said he thought the project was a good way to help the community.
• The scout also donated the $1,200 he had left over from his project to Wolfson Children’s Hospital
