Jeremy really wanted to go to the Junior Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa. So he started to do some fund-raising. He started off at Cherry Days and earned about $40. |

We then went to the local grocery stores. |
His PE teacher was able to get a hold of the local newspaper and they came and interviewed him. A story in the newspaper appeared in a couple of days. |
The newspaper article caught the attention of one of the local news stations and they came and did a story on him and his friend Ethan. They have been doing fund-raising at a local farmers market. |
All the fundraising, plus a video that Uncle Paul made for Jeremy that we put on a website that people contributed to, plus many private donations, helped us to get to the Olympics
