A bit late but here are the pictures from the Spiritridge walkathon. Fund raising in the US is very different to the UK. If Harrold Primary School held an event they were pleased if they raised $600. In the US they try to raise $60,000 and they typically get it! Not quite sure how they do it but they do.
To raise the money this year was a walkathon and to encourage the kids to walk they placed hot dogs, pop corn and all sorts around the course. Each time they completed a lap they got their card stamped and while Harry and Toby were very well behaved and only got one stamp per lap there were lots of naughty children who tricked the parents into getting two stamps per lap.
By the end Harry had completed 9 laps and Toby 8 which would have put them pretty close to the front when the double counting kids were chopped in half. Still it’s not the winning that is important – it’s eating the hot dogs!
There are more pictures here.
