Little Lambs Learning Center recently held its 11th
annual St. Jude Trike-A-Thon. In the four days prior to the Trike-A-Thon,
the children learned about proper trike and riding-toy safety
habits. On the day of the trike-a-thon the children brought their
favorite tricycle or riding toy from home. The track included
everything they needed for a morning trike-a-thon - a trike repair
shop, a gas station, a snack shop, and their favorite - a trike
wash! Even the infants and toddlers participated by taking a
stroller ride around the track.
The children were surprised with a special visitor; Officer Christy
Frugé from the Lincoln Police Department. She discussed safety
guidelines with the children before the trike-a-thon and then joined
in on the fun. Family members joined in the event as well.

$13,000 for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the world’s
premier pediatric cancer research center.
St. Jude has the world’s best survival rates for the most aggressive
childhood cancers, and treatments invented at St. Jude have helped
push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to
80 percent since they opened more than 50 years ago.

St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to
90 percent in the next decade. The research hospital freely shares the
breakthroughs it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and
scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing and
food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Join
