Atreyu's Fun Run!

Every spring, Atreyu's school has a big fundraiser called the "Fun Run." People can either donate one set amount or they can pledge the child and pay so much per lap the child runs. There are cool prizes the kids can win if the get the most money. Atreyu went out with Samantha Harper one day to collect donations and when he came back I couldn't believe how much money people had given him. I decided he actually had a chance to win a prize so I drove him around a couple times so he could ask for donations. He's really hoping he wins the green machine.

The run was last Thursday and he did awesome! Each lap was 1/8 of a mile. I honestly didn't think he would run too many and he ended up running 14 laps! I was so surprised and so proud of him. He had one lady sponsor him and he said knowing that helped him to run a lot and then Bernie, Cambria, and I were there cheering him on.

After collecting all the donations and pledges, Atreyu ended up with $412.61. The money is due on Wednesday and then they will announce the winner. He has a great chance of winning a prize.
