Evan kicked and broke

Weird title I know, Evan was involved in a fundraiser today at his Kuk Sool Won studio. He raised money for the Diana J. East Breast Cancer Foundation named for the mother of one of his teachers Sheri. Basically he got people to sponsor him either for a flat rate or per kick. He broke 25 boards and kicked 1680 times! A number of the kids broke 100 boards! Most of those kids didn't stay for the kicking part. I'm sure they went home to ice their hands! The event was 4 hours long and Evan kicked for 1 1/2 hours strait! It was a fun, low key event and a great way for the kids to be involved in something bigger than themselves. They should all feel proud. The day has been drizzly and cold so we decided on watching movies and having popcorn for the rest of our day. Tomorrow we meet Ian and our friends the Andrieni's (who have Ian with them) down in Hollister where if weather permits we will watch Ian in his first Cross Country motorcycle race. I hope the weather holds out for him, he desperately wants to do this. Hopefully my next post will include Ian's standings in the race. Stay tuned!
