The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! As our parents proved to be so giving during this special season with their time and energy, thier children did the same! We recently watched a moving story on CNN about Lance Armstrong and how he not only won his fight with cancer, but also won the Tour de France five times! The kids in my class immediately decided that they wanted to make a difference in our world as well. Many of them brought in $1 to purchase a special bracelet to support the cause, with all proceeds going to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and cancer research. I was amazed my their continuous generosity! Are you familiar with Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France? Are you aware of other organizations that are specifically designed to help others?
I was so glad to learn about Lance Armstrong and the meaning behind those yellow bracelets. I had seen many people wearing them, and I knew there must be a special meaning behind them. Thanks to Ms. Rikard's class, I now have my very own!

I really enjoyed reading your post. What Lance Armstrong did was amazing, winning the Tour de France and winning the fight against cancer. He was a great person and his ambitions were good.

Nice job on this post. I didn't know these kids could make such a big difference. I've heard about how Lance Armstrong and how he won the fight for cancer. I also didn't know that Armstrong won the Tour De France five times.
