Courage Kenny Ski and Snowboard Ski-A-Thon: Beth Edwards

Hi! My name is Elle and I am raising money for my friend Sophie in heaven. She loved to ski and I want to raise money to help her other friends keep skiing. I learned about her program when I was at my schools ski club after school one day and I met some of Sophie's ski coaches and learned they were doing a ski-a-ton.
