 I wanted the post after selecting a new layout for newsandviewsjb to be special. So, it is with great joy that I am writing about my niece, sweet Sofia.

As part of a school project to help someone in need Sofia chose The Ronald McDonald House in the Seattle, Washington area. Her dad Daniel distributed flyers to the Mercer Island Rotary and their Dojo, where the two take karate lessons.

This past weekend they raised $400 worth of  “wish list and household items” which Sofia donated.  And on Sunday, Sofia ran the Mercer Island Rotary Kid’s Dash and Dan ran the 5K, both to benefit families dealing with cancer.
