I am 8 years old and will be competing with adult competitors. I will run 5k, ride a bike 20k and swim 550 meters. I love to play videogames and do not like it when people associate videogames with laziness. I am going to compete with people that have spent their lives training for competitions like this, and show that kids like me can excell, in both gaming and fitness. I need corporate sponsorship to purchase my bike and competition clothing with the GameStop promotion embroidered on it.</p> </p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/62601#comments competition Extreme Fitness Health &amp; Medicine youth 32.373490 -84.906120 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:40:59 -0500 andrewpruitt 62601 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/62567 <p><p>Each week, a different local business from our small town, would give a task. An example would be, our local floral shop made each group create a sign for their business, the team with the "best" sign won for that week. This continued for 8 weeks. We had to learn how to use all of our resources, and we discovered having your own business isn't as easy as we thought. Whoever had the most wins at the end of the 8 weeks, won the apprentice project, and everyone else was fired.<img src="/sites/all/modules/smileys/packs/example/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" /></p> </p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/62567#comments competition Education &amp; Environment 40.593532 -83.944170 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:14:29 -0500 ali_08 62567 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/61460 <p><p>This group was created on September 11, 2004 by Carlton C.J. Jaushlin at the age of 16. We are a marching and dance drill team working to provide training, discipline, challenges and competition opportunities for under privilege youth in the Wichita area. Our goal is to provide direction to the youth in an effort to keep the out of and away from gangs and gang violence, drugs, and jail.
