Race for the Kids 

I’ve participated in this race for the past three years with my Big Brother Mike.  This year will be my fourth. Mike and I have never raced, but I think I can beat him.   This year my team name is Sabrina’s Skywalkers and I’m excited to be a part of it because the name makes me think of floating in the sky and not using all my energy up during the race.  From my experience running I have learned that you need to push yourself through the end and finish what you have started.  A bit of advice for those who are signed up and are thinking about signing up, do it!  It’s awesome and drink a gallon of water the day of the race!

Race for the Kids 

When I was told I couldn't go to participate in the Race For Kids, I started thinking of other ways to help out. I decided to raise money for the race, and with determination, I was able to raise $100 for the Race, and even though that was not enough for me, every dollar counts and helps a kid to get a mentor, just I like I have a mentor, Frank.
