threes for africa

My goal for April 28 - May 5 is to make 1000 three pointers to raise enough money to buy a Goalsetter basketball hoop for the kids in Sierra Leone, Africa. I have been shooting a lot in the last month and I think I can do it.

This morning I woke up at six o'clock and made 100 shots at the Central College gym with my dad before I had to go to school. When I got home from school that afternoon, my mom and dad surprised me by saying that KCCI was going to be at the gym to tape me and I was going to be on channel 8! They Interviewed me and had me shoot some and said I would be on at ten o'clock tonight.

I've made 325 shots total, which means I am almost a third of the way there after just two days. If you have any questions, you can leave a comment right below this post.

Also, I got two new sponsors:
Tina and Paul Schmidt
The Hillman Family

I am not only trying to get the hoop, but I need some basketballs too. I hope with all the money I will be able to get quite a few. Also, if you are not a follower yet please become one. I really like looking at all the people who are reading my stuff.

Sorry I haven't been updating lately. I kind of forgot. I start my shooting on Wednesday. I will probably try to make 200 to get a little head start. Some people want a video of me shooting. I will try to post one. On March 31 I started a deal with my dad that every three pointer I make I get a nickel. If I shoot 100 a day I can get $12,775. I haven't been shooting very much in the last few days because of all the rain so I think I'm behind by about three hundred shots. but I'll probably get caught up during hoopin for a hoop.

Hey. Sorry I didnt update the last few days. I made 100 on sunday and 165 yesterday. I also made ten in a row so my dad gave me five dollars. I dont have any baseball practice today so I will try to make as many as I can.

I have 200 shots made today so far. probably will try and make at least 100 more. Getting more sponsors every day. Might even be able to buy two hoops so the kids can have a full court! I will add a picture of the kids and the hoop I want to get them.
