Walk-A-Thon for Blue Dragon

Emma had a walk-a-thon at school last Friday to collect money for the Blue Dragon Children's Foundation, which helps provide education, food and medical support to orphans and children whose parents are in prison. You can find out more information about Blue Dragon at the following websites: http://vietnamstreets.blogspot.com, or http://www.bdcf.org

Here is Emma running (green shirt and blue pants). She worked so hard and she was so proud of herself. As she ran, she kept telling herself "Don't stop, Don't give up, Keep going." Emma ran 10 laps around the track! Way to go Emma! Mom and Dad are so proud of you!!! The school had marked a normal-sized track on the soccer field for the kids to run on.

Thanks everyone who sponsored Emma for this event. She even sponsored herself and used 'fun money' out of her bank for her contribution. She raised a total of $185 USD! Below are some of her classmates showing off the marks they got from running each of their laps.
