Zachary's Walk-a-thon!

44 Laps!!!!!!!!!!

Wow......Scott said Zachary never slowed down! He walked the most laps in the 1st grade...& it is a really good thing, because he was obsessive about it!

Let me explain.......Last year when Zachary was in Kindergarten, the school had their annual walk-a-thon. This is the school's largest fundraiser and also promotes health & exercise. The kids have about 1 week to ask family & friends if they would like to sponsor them. Zachary walked 21 laps last year. HOWEVER, this year, he was obsessed with winning. He wanted an Ipod or one of the other many prizes. He solicited sponsors from everyone, from the family - to Dr. Thomas (veterinarian). Sponsors could pledge an amount per lap or a flat amount. Needless to say.....the flat amount sponsors - they were the smart ones! The losers....well, that would be Scott & Me at $1.25 per lap.......Honey & Papa Bob at $1.00 per lap, & Aunt Alicia & Carina at $0.50 per lap.

And did I mention.....he walked...no ran...44 laps!!!!

While he did walk more than any other 1st grader, he didn't win the grand prize. He was satisfied when he won $20. The money was burning a hole in his pocket & he promptly purchased a new toy gun.

Zachary is ready to start asking for sponsor's NOW.....he wants to get a head start on next year...... All that I can say......WATCH OUT when you see him coming!

Thanks to all of you for your support in sponsoring Zachary - we are very proud of his resolve!
