This morning, Savannah and some of her SPARK friends donated money and participated in the 5K walk
for the NAMI foundation for mental illness in honor of their friend and classmate,
Channing, who committed suicide in February.
They had shirts made in honor of him. The front said "Team Fabulous,"
which is something he said all the time. The back of the shirts had a quote from his favorite novel,
To Kill a Mockingbird. They sold the shirts at school and donated the money
to Channings Family for funeral costs.
Savannah has been deeply touched and affected by Channings death.
She was happy to be able to spend the day with their mutual friends in honor of his life.
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view,
until you climb inside his skin and walk around in it.
