On Your Mark...

Here we are, officially less than 5 days out from our 3rd Buddy Up Against Bullying 5K & Virtual 5K...and things could not be better.  For the on-campus event, we have already exceeded the number of registrants from our 2nd event, and are closing in quickly on topping our inaugural event from 2013.  

When we began this little adventure two short years ago, our primary goal was to put on an event for our students, staff, and families here at Reedy Creek Middle School, where we could all come together in a show of support against bullying at our school...and have some fun and exercise in the process.  

When we added the Virtual 5K to the mix, we had no idea it would be as successful as it has become.  It seemed like a good way for those kids who couldn't be here with us on campus to take part in something special...but we had no real expectation that people from outside of our community would join in.  Join in they did.

Our little blog gets traffic on a daily basis from people all over the globe.  In October alone, we've had visitors from France, Thailand, Romania, United Kingdom, Germany, New Zealand, Trinidad & Tobago, Unkraine, Canada, Guatemala, Russia, the Philippines, and all over the United States.  That show of support is both incredibly humbling and exciting at the same time.  Thank you for supporting our students, and what we are doing here in Cary, North Carolina.

Your support of the Buddy Up Against Bullying Virtual 5K shows our students here, and students all over the globe that they do not stand alone against bullying.  For your support, I humbly say...thank you.
