St Jude Trike-A-Thon

Max's preschool participated in the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon two weeks ago. The kids were asked to find sponsors to donate to St. Jude's Caner Center and then bring their bikes, trikes, blades, scooters, etc to school to ride them. They also had a little workshop on bicycle safety. Max was really excited to go and participate. He wouldn't bring his new bike from Santa, but that was ok. He was also very cute asking family and friends to donate money to his fundraiser. We tried explaining to him what it was for and I think he understood most of it (sort of). He knows that he collected money to buy sick kids some medicine so they could ride bikes like him. Close enough for a 3 yr old! This is Max gearing up for the big day. He insisted on bringing his helmet too but would not take a picture with it.

This is the medal that he got for participating and, as he puts it, for being the "most fastest rider in the whole world"! No self esteem issues here!!

Thanks to everyone who sponsored Max and the other kids for such a worthy cause. The school was able to raise $2000 for the hospital!! Not too shabby for a bunch of three year olds!!
