I have some really exciting news that I have been wanting to share: Over 3 months ago I was asked to write a children’s book for the company that I work for. I was honored but totally shocked and afraid. I decided to face my fears and I wrote the book. I was given the awesome opportunity to personally meet and walk with Mayor Jeff Longwell and present my idea to a few groups of people in hopes that they would support our efforts to motivate children to get outside and be more active!
For about 1 1/2 months now I have been waiting to hear back from the Wichita Health & Wellness Coalition about the grant I applied for in order to fund the book's illustrated as well as distribute them to Wichita Public libraries and to all the children in the Head Start programs here in Wichita.
*I am no longer affiliated with Child Start.
