My Friend Ethan's FUN RUN

(HELP ME STAND UP TO A BULLY!  Every year our school has a "fun run" to raise money for things like helping teachers with supplies/appreciate days and this year we're doing a back-pack program (which is separate from the fun run) but it sends food home with kids who don't have enough to eat at home on the weekends and provides school uniforms etc.  My school ROCKS and does SO much good!!

 We get one day with three 30-minute clinics that have various sports and phyiscal activity and our run is a timed, 20 minute run where we run as many laps as we can.

So here's where the bully comes in... the highest fund raiser gets to be "principal for the day" and have lunch with our awesome principal.  The last two years, this kid has told me he was going to "kick my butt" and win, and once he was principal for the day, he was going to suspend me.  He tells me I look like a girl and I'm stupid because my hair is long.  He has made fun of my family (me not having a dad) and so many other things. Trust me, it's awful being taunted by him, even PUNCHED in the stomach one day, and each year somehow he keeps winning.  I REALLY want to stop him from being so mean and winning each year, but I can't do it without you and my mom won't let me go door to door because it's not safe enough. So, I asked her to help me make a website and email since I don't know how to do that yet.  But, I've seen her donate on other people's sites. **update - we just found out this particular bully doesn't attend the same school anymore!** SO excited! I still want to win this and try to set a new example for how to treat others. Certainly not threatening them.**

I want to show how we can have fun AND respect each other, not threaten.  I would like to win principal of the day and be able to show what a fair, kind, compassionate and gracious kid looks like. (And who knows, maybe I can get the whole school and extra recess).

So, whether it's $5 or $5,000 - I set my goal really high, becuase mom always said the sky is the limit - I would appreciate SO much any way you can help me stop the madness and stop the bullies from always winning... It's for a good cause too.

Thanks, and please tell your friends/share on facebook/twitter/email/text.  If you like, I can even record a personal message for you or your company on my website that will go out to thousands of people from

(Good marketing idea from my mom.)

Thanks again for helping me stand up to this guy and win this race.

Your Friend, Ethan
