Stroll for 60

SHERBURNE – Fourth grade students of the Sherburne-Earlville Elementary School have been working hard to organize a benefit for diabetes taking place Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. with a 9:15 a.m. registration taking place at the S-E stadium.

The event, entitled Stroll for 60, was first held two years ago and raises funds for JDRF, a foundation striving to cure type one diabetes. Elementary school students have invited members of the community to come out Saturday to walk for 60 minutes, as the event is not gauged by distance. If there is rain Saturday, the event will be moved into the high school/middle school gym.

In preparation for the Stroll for 60, fourth graders have been writing and sending letters to businesses imploring them to sponsor the walk.

“My daughter, Morgan, makes this cause personal for me, and having Maggie in our class makes it personal for all of the students, but more important is the life lesson these students are learning,” said Heidi Johnson who along with Jessica Blenis coordinates the fundraiser.
