I recently participated in the Live wElle 5k and fun run put on by the family of one of our lion sponsors (see Elle's Story Lion # 110). Hundreds of people attended the event to support the Live wElle Foundation. After the race, my mom related to me a powerful experience that she had while running the 5k.

We are so grateful to our friends and sponsors who made the Ryan's Lion Fundraiser such an overwhelming success!

We especially thank the following contributors:

Please join us on May 16, 2009 for a Eagle Scout Project Fundraiser sponsored by the Ryan's Lion Organization. Our goal is to raise $3,000 so that we can purchase Ryan's Lion™ courage lions in bulk and "en-COURAGE" people all over the country. We want to provide Ryan's Lions to 500 more people by August 2009, and we need your help!

A 16-year-old boy had a big heart and an even bigger dream. That dream has now become the Ryan's Lion Organization.

If you are one of those lucky young men whose parents say that you cannot get your driver's license until you earn Eagle Scout rank, then you know my pain. I have helped lots of friends earn their Eagle Scout rank, and usually the project is something like painting a park bench or two, or digging post holes for fences.
