October “Team Novalie” Events!
National Walk to Work Day - 10/7/09
Please sponsor Brighton High School Teacher, John Clements, (Novalie’s relative), as he walks to work on National Walk to Work Day. Teacher John Clements says that the walk to work for him is 10 miles and he will get up at 4:30am on Wednesday October 7th and walk to work to raise funds for Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) in Honor of Novalie Nguyen. Novalie needs a life-saving heart transplant. He says, “I’m doing the 2 and ½ hour walk to work to raise awareness for COTA, little Novalie needs our help.” Learn how you can sponsor John Clements at John_Clements@bcsd.org.
