Boosterthon Fun Run

Mason helped raise money for his school in the Boosterthon Fun Run. He made several calls to family and friends asking for pledges You could either pledge a dollar amount per lap run or you could pledge a flat donation, OR as Mason called it, a flat "dalmation." We have had a LOT of good laughs over that one.

Mason was pumped up and ready to run.

He had a lot of people come to cheer him on: Grandmother, Gigi, Maya, Zoe, Mommy, Nesha, Kai... and it was cold!

Each lap was 1/16th of a mile. Each lap was marked on the back of the runners' t-shirts.
The organizers did encourage the kids to walk and run ... but Mason never stopped running. So you can see him in many of the pictures clearly running when other kids around him have slowed down to get a breath and are walking.


Mason ended up with 33 laps marked -- over 2 miles he ran. He was excited and I was impressed. He actually did run the 34th lap, but he didn't make it to the markers before the time was up. We all got to walk a victory lap with him.

Thank you to those who gave "dalmations"... Hidy, Gigi, Grandmother, Pops, Sissy, Chuck, Dad, and Mom.

RUN, MASON, RUN!!
