The bronze sculpture by local artist Doug Young was made possible through a donation from the family of Lindsey Bates Motley who passed away from cancer in 2016. “She took a leap of faith and grew her wings on the way down.”
Hero portrays a wise and curious rabbit precariously perched on a narrow stone wall in the Children’s Garden section of the park. The intention of the artist was to depict both courage and faith in the face of adversity, much like a child’s cancer journey.
