by Hadley Greswold, Bridge TA 2008 - 2009
Driving back from our end-of-Bridge field trip last summer
(2009), one of my students fell asleep in my lap, and another cried
silently into my arm, unwilling to let the program end. I knew that
the contribution I had made to the educational future of these students
was important, but I had also helped create a second home for them
where they felt safe and loved. It was with these memories that I
pushed myself to run more than ten races to raise money for the
Peninsula Bridge program. I trained 5-6 days a week, running 3-8 miles
a night. The races spanned a time frame of nine months, through the
end of 2009 and into the summer of 2010. The generous contributions of
my sponsors reflect their commitment to the future of the Bridge
students. For with one pebble tossed in a puddle, a ripple emanates,
and changes the surface of the water.
The running project raised over $10,000 for the Peninsula Bridge program. Hadley, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your generous support and dedication to our students.
