CRESTVIEW — Duke it Out's Relay For Life team is wrapping up a Boston butt fundraiser to benefit Nathaniel Bowersox.
The Boston butts cost $30 each and can be ordered by calling Loney Whitley at 603-3500 or 537-4654. The butts can be picked up at the Crestview Publix from 4 to 5 p.m. April 4.
Nathaniel, the son of Megan and Daniel Bowersox, was born Feb. 5 — almost a month before he was due. His second night at North Okaloosa Medical Center, nurses determined his stomach was distended and referred him to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
"He had what is called meconium ileus — basically, his first bowel movement got stuck in his small intestine, causing it to droop, twist and rupture," Megan, said.
Duke It Out's team scheduled the Boston butts fundraiser to help cover Nathaniel's treatment expenses. Megan is the 2014 and 2015 Crestview Relay For Life chairperson.
