We're taking bets that kids are awesome...

So tonight I went to the Fundraiser/Presentation for Kid for a Cure at UMass Lowell. Kids for a Cure is an organization started by middle schoolers at the McCarthy School of Chelmsford, MA. They raise money for breast and ovarian cancer and over the last two years have raised over $13,000. All of the students have been affect by cancer in one way or another.

It is amazing how socially active that kids can be. When most middle schoolers are worried about if they have a zit or if a member of the opposite sex is going to talk to them these girls are working on fundraisers for cancer research. It is absolutely incredible and very humbling when you think how much all of us complain about our lives when we really should be happy and do stuff for others.

Shoutout to Sara Strauhal for putting together an awesome program. You are the best!!!
