Remember Jeff's Run for Kids last month? A super success in every way with a grand total of over $4,000 raised for HealthEd Connect. One of the back-room stories you may not have heard, however, occurred in his home several days before the race.
As Jeff related it: I've been telling Grayson [his adorable son] about my run to help kids in Africa who need food and good schools. He said that he wanted to give some of his money from his piggy bank to the kids.
.... we emptied his piggy bank and he picked how much he wanted to give. Though he has no real concept of money, he was able to separate his coins into what he wanted to "give" and what he wanted to save. His "give" pile was much bigger than his "save" pile. It's so great to see his generous spirit come out. I need to remember this when he won't share his toys.
