St. Jude's Children's Hospital Trike-A-Thon

Allison's Preschool did a fundraiser for St Jude's Children's Hospital. The program combines bike safety rules such a wearing your helmet, watching for cars, etc with a culmination of a Trike-A-Thon. The kids got pledges to raise money for the Children's Hospital and then they rode there bike around the circle track at school for 30 minutes.

About 15-20 minutes into the ride, I asked Allison if she wanted to rest (she is usually the whiny one who is "sooooooo tired"), her teacher said it was OK for them to rest~ the didn't have to ride the entire time. But Allison, just smiled at me and said "Nope, I'm OK, I want to keep pedalling", and so she did for 30 minutes without stopping. I'm so proud of her.

Listening to Ms. Dobbs after the trike-a-thon was completed.

What a big girl, she raised enough money for a t-shirt. We just hope they arrive before school gets out for the summer - otherwise she will have to wait until fall.
