There is a little boy at Ella's preschool that is undergoing treatment at St. Jude's for a brain tumor. I do not know much about his story since he goes to school at a different time than Ella and the school has not said a lot. I just can not imagine how hard it would be to have a child that was seriously ill.
Ella's school decided to participate in the St. Jude tricycle a thon as a small way to support what he is going through and help other children in a similar situation. Each child could raise money for St. Jude by getting donations and then riding their tricycle, bike, scooter, etc. The kids learned all about bike safety this week and a little about what they do at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Today was their big ride. The children enjoyed themselves and raised some money so that hopefully someday parents won't have to worry about many forms of childhood cancer.

Oh I love that they're helping out a fellow classmate! St. Jude's is very near and dear to my heart, and I can't wait to go back and visit the hospital again some day!
