There was a good turn out, several families joined in. You can see our crew on the far left of this photo. I think there were a total of eight kids on bikes raising money, and of course, the families came along, too.

I stopped partway around to get this shot, it was beautiful. It's amazing to think that we all went around the entire lake, and my five year old just kept going. She never said she wanted to stop, or that she was tired, or anything. She was such a trooper, we were so proud of her.

Emma was thrilled at the amount she was able to earn. She asked me, "Mommy? Do you think it's enough to build a roof?" I don't know, baby, but I bet it's close.
If you ever feel that you can't make a difference in the world, think again. This just proves that anyone can so anything, if you just put your mind to it.
Great job, Emma! We are so proud of you!

Way to go Emma. We are very proud of you!
Way to go Emma!!! And the rest of the kids.
I cried when I read Emma's question about building a roof! So sweet!
And the funny thing is, you never know when something like this could be with Emma forever, and when she grows up, she will still be doing things like this, who knows? In every sense, Emma, you GO, girl!
That's fanatastic! And I just have to say -- that shot of the lake? That's the lake are you joking?
1) It looks massive
2) It's BEAUTIFUL, things like that are only meant to exist in storybooks and perhaps New Zealand. It's BEAUTIFUL!!!
Great job, Emma. Its just... its swell, that a 5 year old can have such a heart. <3
