Student Testimony<br />
"Katy Sullivan and Ready Set Go have really<br />
showed me that physical fitness is more than<br />
having fun and playing your favorite sport.<br />
It’s about you knowing that when you grow<br />
up it’s important to have a healthy lifestyle.<br />
When I grow up I want to be fit and healthy<br />
like Katy.<br />
When I first saw Katy she told me that she<br />
was born without the lower halves of her legs.<br />
So that meant she used prosthetics most of<br />
her life and still she did things she really<br />
wanted to do. That made me think even<br />
though she had a disability she didn’t let<br />
anybody tell her she couldn’t do the things<br />
normal kids could do, and that inspired me to<br />
dream big! When she came to my school she<br />
taught us how to run properly, how to do curl<br />
ups and pushups. It was hard at first but after<br />
I tried, and tried, and tried again, I actually did<br />
those exercises pretty well.<br />
A few weeks later my class had to practice for<br />
the 1 mile run that we were going to take<br />
almost at the end of the year. When I was<br />
running at first it was easy but it got a little<br />
harder. I noticed that I wasn’t breathing<br />
properly, and I wasn’t doing what Katy said to<br />
do. After I got the hang of it and I completed<br />
the mile run. Katy’s advice helped me do well<br />
on the practice run and hopefully on the real<br />
one too.<br />

I am very thankful for Ready, Set Go!<br />
Because if it wasn’t for them Katy would have<br />
never come to our school. I feel like if I do<br />
well on the test I will definitely thank Katy for<br />
it. I do know that I have improved since Katy<br />
has been here. I will do my best on that test!"<br />
