The goal for this year's Miami Country Day School Walk for Cancer was $50,000. As of the preliminary tally, Miami Country Day School had raised over
$112,000!!!
Can we say wow! I was helping The Heidi Hewes Woman's Cancer Association with the counting of the money and we all had goose bumps!
Those kids worked so hard and everyone should be so proud! You could hear the kids cheering in the loud-speaker "Do it for Harry!" The walk this year is dedicated to Harry Greenberg, a senior at MCDS who has recently lost his leg to cancer.
To think that all that money will go towards cancer research and to the efforts of finding the cure. My hat goes off to everyone involved.
CONGRATULATIONS MIAMI COUNTRY DAY!!
Here you can see the students hard at work filling out sponsor sheets and collecting money.

The Head of Miami Country Day, Dr. John Davies, promised to shave his head if the students met their $50,000 goal.
Not only did they meet their goal, but they more than doubled it!
CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN MIAMI COUNTRY DAY!
