Elijah Thompson – Right to Play
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.

UPDATE – glitch has been fixed. Both MAG & WAG scores should be up-to-date.
Check out David’s new alternative to troester.com GymInfo.
The format looks far superior. Single page. Faster to access stats on all teams.
When I checked in, it still had Florida listed #1. But they’ve dropped to #2, in reality.
It will have to be updated as quickly as GymInfo to make me want to switch.
The page says “Updated March 11, 2013“, but has not been updated yet.

home Gym equipment
Norberts GT-300 Ultra Dome is my favourite mushroom. $310.00
Add the Optional Pommel Top kit. $295.00
Both can be used in the gym or at home. As can their Low P-bars for gymnasts under 100 pounds. $189.00
I’d love to stuff those 3 items into a rolling suitcase for my next overseas gymnastics camp. Light and mobile.

ready to quit Facebook?
Another new Facebook news feed redesign is on the way. That should drive a few more millions away.
They want to make new video ads less objectionable to readers.
Facebook is losing its grip on kids, according to a recent article by CNET’s Jennifer Van Grove, in which she cites complicated features and too much parental control.
Especially with teenage boys.
Where are they going?
The hottest new social media app is Pheed.
Personally, I like Facebook. And might pay for an ad-free version.
