  6. Victory for Victoria • Victory for Victoria was a fundraiser held for Victoria Newsome, who was a local child that struggled to fight brain cancer. Although she died a week before the fundraiser was held, many people still came out to walk or run the race and show support for her grieving family. I came after the race to help clean up everything.

  8. S. L. Mason Field Day • On April 28, 2006, S.L. Mason Elementary School held a field day for their students at the Valdosta Middle School football field. I demonstrated to the kindergarteners and first graders different ways to jump over sticks on the ground. I also gave out directions to the second and third graders at a different station on filling up buckets with peanut packers.
