Happy New Year!

I hope you have a great 2018! Thank you for always helping me out with my donations! I know the patients are enjoying them.

You have helped me so much that I needed a place to expand my thoughts, my videos, my projects, my updates, and donations, so Abhi helped me create my new website!

I hope you enjoy my new website. I am now using this blog as a way to keep my updates in order! My mom also let me start a Twitter account so I will be tweeting there too!

Thank you!
Lexi

My Trip Highlights

Donated 75 active toys!
Got to see real live lab mice and bioluminescent cells
Met Dr. Post, Dr. Gill, and Dr. Kahazal
Learned that other doctors are already doing my research on being strong to fight cancer.
Learned that all doctors have to be both oncologist and researched, but you get to choose if you want to be more researcher or more oncologist...I want to be more researcher.
I got to meet a really cool active waiting room called Kim's Place. In the waiting area, there were active games for teenagers. I am going to ask CHOA if they have one of those. If not, I will see if they can make one.
Mr. Baha found me!

Donation Kickoff - MD Anderson November 21st 2017

Read Now

Hello everybody, I just wanted to say that I have recently made the new wish list for my annual donation to MD Anderson. My goal is 75 donations. Mr. Kevin Long a director for MD Anderson said that he loved watching the patients zooming down the hallways on their plasma cars, trikes and razor scooters. I would like for this to happen again except with more patients. To see my wish list just go to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/search/ref=nav_wishlist_find and just search for Pedals of Courage and it should come up. Please make sure that you ship to the Law Family's address. That is my Aunt Shelli and I am flying into Dallas before going to Houston. Please order by November 14th, since I am delivering on November 21st! Thank you for all of your support!!

My Go Baby Go Training video link: spark.adobe.com/video/b2w3KaRQkoVMp

Ms. Sheree York from Children's hospital of Alabama invited me to go a training called Go Baby Go! Go Baby Go is a program designed for kids who have special needs. These kids have never been able to move on their own. They are always carried by their parents or pushed in a stroller. Go Baby Go modifies cars to where special needs kids can drive on their own and be independent.

Go Baby Go Trip Highlights: 

I met a few therapists.
I built a modified car for the kids.
I even watched them ride! That was my favorite part!
Pedals of Courage donated $400 to Children's of Alabama to be put towards 2 Go Baby Go cars. Thank you North Gwinnett Kiwanis Club and Coach Teresa from the Cumming Waves Swim Team! They each donated $200.
