Running for Lolo

Today is the annual Terry Fox Run at the kid’s school today. The teachers and staff did a pretty good job of getting the kids organized and pumped up with music, fun stretches, and cheers. Run or walk, it was great to see them have fun and fundraise for a notable cause.

Below is a nice email from Arlo’s teacher….

re: Terry Fox Donation

Dear Tlell and Rex,

I hope this finds you well. Yesterday Arlo surprised me with a generous donation and came back today with more, a sum reaching altogether 110$. He explpained to me it was his own money and that grand-dad had been struggling with cancer. This is a beautiful act of selflessness which demonstrates how great an individual Arlo is. 

This being said, this is an unusually large amount for a student to donate and I wanted to confirm with you that you were aware of his decision. I will put the money aside until I hear from you. Whatever the outcome, I am greatly impressed with Arlo’s kindness and generosity. You definitely inspired him great values. Well done!

Best,

M. Ben
