If I have learned nothing else from our preschool class this year, it is that these kids and their families are generous and really step up for a good cause. As members of Cody's Crew, we raised more than $1200 to help fight neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer that Cody called "the beast."
We completed our run for Cody's Crew today in preschool. Since Kerry will be running as many miles as she can for 32 hours (in the rain, it looks like) this weekend, we decided the kids would run as many laps as they could around the ball field in 30 minutes (yes, we really should have done 32 minutes).
We donned our running shoes, had water waiting at the dugouts when the runners needed breaks, and ran (or walked when we were tired--or our knees began to ache just a little), and ran and ran.
We tried to make sure each classmate had a chance to run a lap with the one of the Cody's Crew flags. They did a great job sharing this responsibility. We counted the laps completed by each of the kids. It looks like we have some serious future running competitors in this group.
The kids at Main Street Preschool in St. Albans also joined our cause. They each donated $2 (which raised $75 for us) and they ran in the park today. I want to thank their teacher, Gail, for hopping on board. We loved the support.
