My daughter and her friend watched the movie Soul Surfer. I have not seen this movie but my daughter really liked it. She and her friend decided that they wanted to base a fund raiser on that movie. They decided to donate any money they made to the Make a Wish Foundation. The idea behind their project was simple really, they would find sponsors, and the sponsors would agree to pay them a certain amount for every hour they went around with their hand tied behind their backs. They called it lend a helping arm. I was surprised at how many girls made it the entire 9 hours with the use of only one arm. They raised almost $200.00 to give to the Make a Wish Foundation. I was very proud of my daughter, I know at times she was discouraged by this event but she stuck with it and got it done.
That is all
