Cade's preschool held a St. Jude Trike-a-thon today. It was actually planned back in the Fall, but, in light of Lucy's recent diagnosis (She is a student at the preschool, as well), they completed the event in Lucy's honor! It was wonderful!
All of the TCA students, preschool through 2nd grade, learned about riding safety each day during the week. On Friday, they were given the chance to practice those skills in the Trike-a-thon, and raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Some of Brighton High School's students from the FFA and Softball team were there to help out. They did a great job walking (or running!) with the kids to be sure everyone put safety first and practiced good riding skills. It really was a well-planned & well-executed event. I was very proud to be part of our community on this day specifically!
I have to say a VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to our family & friends who sponsored Cade in the event. He didn't really fully understand the fundraising side of the event, but Howie & I do... and what a great cause it is! St. Jude is a special place - working toward miracles every day, helping children & their families live with & overcome cancer. He rode for about 40 minutes of the hour that was allotted for his age group. Way to go, Cade!
