Our classmate and friend Aidan was diagnosed with adrenal cell carcinoma at the beginning of school this year. Aidan is 9 years old and is in the same year as Olivia and Katie at school. The three of us started kindergarten together. While Skye started kindergarten with Aidan brother Riley. The challenge in our school community is to raise $30,000 in 30 days during the month of November. The four of us live on the same street and we wanted to find a way to help Aidan and his family.
Jonathon told us about an ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Some stories believe you are granted eternal good luck, instead of just one wish, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. Our wish is for Aidan to be healthy and to be able to come to school and have a normal life and to recover.
We have a enormous task, having to fold over 250 cranes each!! Its going to take a lot of concentrated effort and refined folding technique to get this done.
