Well they did it! I am late writing this blog- with the end of school and a week without power... Joey and Ali Jane raised $150 for the kids of St. Jude. It's a good thing that no one pledged per lap because Jonasen must have done 100 laps on his bike! Ali Jane on the other hand (who we usually can't get OFF her bike) wasn't as interested though she did manage a few laps. (Only once was she going against traffic...ooops!) It was great seeing them out there and they actually had a concept that they were helping kids who were sick.
There is a little girl at our church named Maddison that we've been praying for. She is only 10 or 11 and has cancer. Her leg was amputated and things aren't looking good. The kids remember her every night in their prayers (without help from me) and ask God other things like the color of her room or her favorite movie. Maddison was in church a few weeks ago and my kids have never commented on why she has no hair or sometimes wears sunglasses inside. They only want to be her friend and pray for her. It really is sweet.
St. Jude is an amazing place and while Maddison isn't a patient there, a little boy in my parents neighborhood is. The kids at Hearts & Hands rode their little hearts out and it was so fun to see the bikes going round and round and round without too many crashes!
