20 Laps

Yesterday, Madison participated in a trike-a-thon at her school. The money raised when to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Madison did a fantastic job getting donations and also people to sponsor her per lap. She did 20 laps, the limit the school placed, with a smile on her face the entire time! She alone raised a total of $730.00. Way to go Madison!

Maddie rode in honor of our friends daughter, Anna, who passed away from cancer almost 2 months ago. We made this shirt for her to wear during the trike-a-thon with Anna's picture on the back. Purple was Anna's favorite color so, of course, we had to use a purple shirt. She was so proud of her shirt and would tell anyone that asked who Anna was, that she is now in Heaven and about the trike-a-thon. I know she didn't fully understand what it was all about, but she would tell people that she was giving money to a hospital so that they could help kids that are very sick. We are so proud of her!



Half way through her laps she was able to switch "modes of transportation".
