The school has participated in the program for close to 10 years and have raised nearly $100,000 over that period of time. Middle School kids get in motion to raise money Todd Hollingshead STAFF WRITER A dozen 12- and 13-year-olds in Springville actually were up to some good Friday during dur-ing school hours when they were outside on the playground instead of inside their English Eng-lish classroom. The students were lined up for an abbreviated abbrevi-ated session of Tae Bo, just one of the activities activi-ties at Springville Middle School's "Motion Marathon," a schoolwide fund-raiser for the American Lung Association of Utah. In the 10th year of the effort, school administrators ad-ministrators have organized the athletic marathon with the lofty goal of pulling in $16,000 an amount that would put the ' school's all-time donation total at $100,000. Administrators will know by next week if ' they met the goal. The money will be used for asthma and lung disease research to help students like 12-year-old Jake Jepson, who hopes to live one day without the fear of an asthma attack. at-tack. , "If feels like you're breathing through one of those tiny straws you get in the lunch : room," Jepson said about the attacks. "You ' get so scared you start to cry. It's hard ' when you play football and you have to use your inhaler. Everyone thinks you're using ' it as an excuse." Jake is one of 36,000 children in Utah who suffer from asthma enough students to fill 1,200 classrooms and he's one of 36,000 children in Utah who wishes there was a cure. That why Jake's friends and teachers at Springville Middle School are doing as much as they can to help the cause. r:" fi . ,"4. , 1-w J" ..; ! Sv'Ji" J - t - v it i I ' J I J. Last year the school made $14,700 through the fund-raiser, $3,700 more than the goal, said girls physical education teacher Linda Lewis, who organized this year's marathon. "At this age group they're so willing to help," Lewis sajd. "Back when they started this, people were in it for the prizes, but now, people are doing if for others. The kids are so eager to help." This year's effort kicked off about two weeks ago, when children went to friends and family members asking for pledges. Some even canvassed their local neighborhoods. neighbor-hoods. Friday was the final event as students stu-dents kept their bodies in motion playing ' sports, running or jump roping to earn the pledged donations whether it was 10 cents a minute or $10 an hour. The money collected will go directly into research for asthma and other lung diseases at the American Amer-ican Lung Association of Utah. "The whole school gets behind it and becomes be-comes a part of it," said Vicki Wheeler, associate asso-ciate director of the American Lung Association Associ-ation of Utah. "They have always been the number one school. The kids really know why they're doing it." Lewis said the kids understand why they're doing it because their friends and classmates who suffer from asthma talk openly about their struggle, explaining what it feels like to them. One of those students is seventh-grader Gaby Nunez, 13, who has experienced asthma asth-ma attacks as often as once a week. "My lungs clog up and I feel like a purring cat," Gaby said. "We need to help other kids know it's a little more serious than it looks."
