It was all about training
wheels and popping wheelies at Gertrude Walden
Child Care Center’s recent bike-a-thon to
benefit Martin Volunteers’ 10th annual School
Supplies for Students drive.
“As a United Way of Martin
County affiliated agency, we thought it would be
awesome for our kids to contribute something to
the school supplies drive because we benefit
from it,” said Thelma Washington, executive
director of Gertrude Walden.
“All the children love
riding bikes, so for $1, parents could bring in
their child’s bike, trike or whatever they
wanted to ride that day and the kids could ride
them around our parking lot.”
