Ari is one of the ambassadors for the Walk With Me walk-a-thon benefitting Southwest Human Development this year. She has been an ambassador for various good causes since she was a baby, because we like to support and give back to the community that helps Ari out in whatever way that we can. The kids and I attended the kick-off luncheon, which is an opportunity for potential pledgers and walkers and fundraisers to get jazzed about the good cause they are supporting, and meeting the sweetest ambassador ever (in my humble opinion) is the best way to do that! Gabe and Bella were such good helpers the whole time! They kept asking me if they were being “mature” and they even ate all their salad without complaint, clapped at all the right times, and introduced themselves to whomever came up to meet us. I was so proud of them! Ari was her usual sweet self when it was just us, but got really shy with all the attention focused on her.
FOX 10 News anchorman Jude LaCava, who did the promotional video (see below) with us, wanted nothing more than to get a smile out of little Ari to show how buddy-buddy they were, but little Ari just wouldn’t oblige him! Oh well :). It was a fun afternoon, and I’m glad that we are able to make some small difference for this great cause!
