The Walking Project

My name is Aidan. I am 7 years old and I'm a first grade student at East Cooper Montessori School in Mt Pleasant, SC. At my school we do a year long peace project to help our community. I call my idea "The Walking Project". My twin brother and I are going to walk the children's event of the Charleston Marathon to raise money for the MUSC Chidren's Hospital NICU (Neonatal intensive care unit). When I was a baby, I was at the NICU for a few days and I would like to help the babies that are having a hard time.

Please see links at bottom of the page for more information!

So far, with checks, our grand total is $600!!! Thanks for all your support!!!

We Finished!!! I have collected all my money and I am going to take it Downtown to MUSC this week. I am going to continue walking and running.
