Loudoun Jeep owners join in huge event for ailing little boy

Several thousand Jeep owners turned out to lift the spirits of a little boy.

Jeep owners from across Loudoun headed up to West Virginia Wednesday evening to participate in the Jeeps for Georgie event taking place to lift the spirits of a terminally ill little boy.

According to media reports, Georgie is a 4-year-old boy that has come home from the hospital to spend his last Christmas with his family due to Stage 4 neuroblastoma. One of Georgie’s favorite things are Jeeps, so thousands of Jeep owners from around the country converged on the Hedgesville, West Virginia area — a little over an hour northwest of Ashburn — to stage a huge Jeep parade past Georgie’s home.

A group of Jeep owners met up at Loudoun Valley High School Wednesday afternoon to caravan to the event which started around 6 p.m. Another group was meeting at the Costco in Leesburg.

WUSA9, the CBS station in Washington DC, and WJLA, the ABC station, were covering the event live from helicopters overhead.
