Every year at Nate's school, they do a fundraiser called the Walk-a-thon. In kindergarten Nate wasn't too into participating. However, now that he is a mature, socially concious 1st grader, he was really excited to do it. The kids get pledges from people they know for each lap that they walk around the track. Each lap is 1/4 of a mile. The day of the walk-a-thon it was close to 90 degrees! Nate was able to finish 17 laps around the track which is equal to 4 1/4 miles in about an hour and a half. Since he only got pledges from Mom and Dad - for $1/lap, he was able to raise $17 for his school. We were very proud of him! Way to go Nate!

WOW! Nate! You are the walking giant! Didn't know you could walk a whole mile - let alone 4+ More power to you. You did wonderfully well for the fundraiser! GMA Noble
Wow! That's pretty fast and a lot of laps for a little guy. Way to go!
