Ride for Roswell's Team GarveyFish

ADDIE: Hi.  My name is Addie.  And we are, we are doing the Rise for Roswell.  And I made a picture for a tee shirt so when we put the picture on our tee shirt, it’s three fishes riding on the bicycle because we… ARE… TEAM GARVEYFISH!

I’m doing the Rise for Roswell and we’re getting money for people who have cancer and they’re sick and we want to help them, that’s why we’re doing this.  So we need your help.

MAEVE: Hi. My name is Maeve and we’re doing the Ride for Roswell and we need your help.  If you give us money, we’ll do thirty miles of riding.

DADDY: Um, three.

M: Right, three miles I mean.  It’ll be me and mommy and daddy and Addie and Clark and we’re all going bike riding but we can’t do it and we can’t help people with cancer without you giving us money and donations.  Daddy, can you put my letter on the blog?

D: Sure, I’ll put it right here. [The girls sent this letter, composed and illustrated by Maeve, to a few family members.]



A: And if you help us, you can be part of TEEEEEAAM GAAAAARVEYFISH!  We’re Team GarveyFish because we’re Garveys and we have a fish.  Get it?  It makes sense.  And if you help us we’ll love you.

M: Anyone who helps us is on Team GarveyFish too!  What else should we give people?

A: How about we send them a video if they give us money.  I will send them a video that says “HOW DOOOO YOU DOOOOO?”

M: A Harlem Shake video!  A Harlem Shake video!

A: We could give them a hat.  Or Clark.  Or a hat with Clark on it.

M: I want to make a Harlem Shake video.

D: How about if we raise a thousand dollars, you can make a special video to thank everyone.

M: I have a question.  Will we be Harlem Shaking in the video?

D: Up to you, pipsqueak.  Anything else we should tell people?

A: The place.  You have to say the place where people can send the money.  Say this: if you can help us and send us money and we can use the money for people with cancer all you have to do is go to here.  And then put the website.  http://rideforroswell2013.kintera.org/garveyfish Now, daddy, can I tell you about riding a bike?
