Walkathon

Today we had a walkathon for the first time in our school.We had to walk laps in a 400 metre ground.It was totally stunning.Dr Naidu,our school director was there too to encourage us.We wanted to raise money for the poor kids by walking.At first,it seemed really odd.It isn't so ordinary for us having a walkathon because I've never some other school have these events.That's why I say Pathways is truly extraordinary.So we would raise 30 rs per round.All we did is walk and talk.We walked with our friends and kept on raising money.Well,I felt proud today even though I have a fractured hand,me and my friend did 7 rounds of the track,which was the highest in our class.That means 2800 metres,and we raised rs 210.On Friday,we learnt about a Canadian,Terry Fox,who had cancer and a prosthetic leg,but he wanted to walk all the way to his home from a city that was very far.He asked every canadian to pay one canadian dollar for his walk.The thing which actually seemed extremely startling was,he walked 5373 km.Then,one day he couldn't breathe and went to the hospital for a checkup,and then he had Lung cancer and he died.I know it's hard to believe this,but he actually accomplished this feat.I guess it was only him that actually encouraged us to walk 7 rounds or otherwise we would have fainted till the 3rd round.It felt like his spirit existed in us.We had badges,so when we complete a round,a teacher would sign on it so we had proof for how many laps we did.It actually was vey fun,and I hope we have this event gain.
