Once again, the Kyle Shewfelt Gym Fest will be raising money for Right to Play. That’s an international humanitarian organization promoting sport and play to improve health, develop life skills, and foster peace for children and communities in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world.
Inspired by Kyle, young Elijah Thompson decided to do his own fundraiser for the charity last year. And raised $2,245.00. So far. 🙂
For his efforts, Right to Play awarded Elijah a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
Elijah had been following the rehabilitation of paralyzed trampolinist Brett Babcock. While in Toronto, he visited Brett. And ended up doing a rehab workout alongside him.
Last night I dropped in at Elijah’s club. It was “mock meet” night. His team is “ready” for KSGF this weekend.
Good luck.
