Jogathon Highlights

Wow -- 21 LAPS! Unprecedented! Boylee really turned on the afterburners! Based on our pledges it looks like we'll be raising over $400!

Here's how it all went down:

First, a dad who's a big-time runner helped the kids warm up.


Then they were off! Boylee started at a great slow and steady pace, exactly how they've been practicing with their beloved PE teacher.


Some kids walked at times, but I don't think Boylee ever stopped. (And here he is holding a torch, which was passed from kid to kid.)


Volunteers gave the kids water throughout...though most of it ended up dumped over their heads.


At the end of the 15 minutes Boylee seemed a little wiped out...


But he perked right up!



Afterwards, they all had water and a snack




All in all, it was a great success. I'll be curious to see how much money we raise. Last year with 250 kids we raised $40,000. This year we have 500 students...
