Walking for St. Jude

Seems like this is turning into a Shannon Primary School blog, but that’s OK. I enjoy visiting the school and I appreciate it inviting me to special occasions like what you’re about to see.

This is a videoclip from its walk on Thursday, May 1 benefitting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. The students and staff collect pennies – a lot of them, in fact – and donate it to St. Jude. This year they raised $1,011.66!

The clip is from the opening ceremony when a group of balloons were released. The child who helps counselor Sandi Mallary release the balloons is Andrew Benson, a kindergarten student who underwent chemotherapy treatments at St. Jude when he was 2 years old. His grandmother was at the walk, and she said Andrew celebrated his third birthday at St. Jude. Andrew is doing well, even showing me the scar on his belly where he received his treatments.
