Trike-a-Thon for St. Jude's Hospital

Last Friday Celeste participated in a trike-a-thon at her school to help raise money

for St. Jude Children's Hospital. 

I was so excited to hear that it was for St. Jude Hospital.  I have given for a few years now to St. Jude's because I think it is so wonderful what they do for ALL children.  Each child in Celeste's school collected donations or pledges for each "lap" they did around the school parking lot.  Since 100 small preschoolers on bikes in one place didn't sound like a safe idea, each class took turns riding their bikes throughout the day.

Here is Celeste's class waiting to start.  She is on the right smiling at the camera.

When they said go...she took off peddling as fast as she could!

She would go so fast around the corners, and end up way beyond the cones. 

 I had to remind her that it was not a race, and she could go slow! 

 Every lap they did they got a punch in the cards attached to their bikes.

She did and awesome job, and so did all the other children.

Celeste is holding her punch card.  She did a total of 28 laps!

After everyone finished  the children enjoyed a popsicle for snack!

I'm so proud of Celeste for participating in a fundraiser that helps other children!
