Race for the Kids
I am currently involved in the Race for the Kids by raising money in a healthy way. This is a beautiful experience because I’m not only helping myself I’m also helping thousands of kids that need a guiding light and figure. I have been with BBBS for 3 years and it has been a wonderful experience. We not only have fun, but we learn.

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.
