Co- Host: Fifteen-year-old Winter Vinecki began making waves in the sport of triathlon at a very young age. Racing since the age of five, her competitive spirit has compelled her to be the best. By the age of nine, she found herself competing in an Olympic Distance triathlon; a distance usually reserved for seasoned adult triathletes. Winter initially had thoughts of racing as a means of bringing light to the growing epidemic of childhood obesity. This all changed one spring morning, though. In May of 2008, Winter experienced personal hardship that would prove to be the defining moment in her life and career as an athlete. After a series of medical tests, her dad, Michael, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer. The grim prognosis was met not only with sadness but also with determination. Winter vowed to do everything in her power to put an end to prostate cancer and help find a cure so that other families wouldn’t have to endure the personal hardships that her family was going through. Thus, Team Winter, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit, became her true cause in which to race for. It has become a vessel for funding prostate cancer research and raising prostate cancer awareness on a global scale. Winter has helped raise nearly $500,000 for prostate cancer awareness and research.
After the passing of her dad in 2009, Winter traveled almost every weekend to races in which she, her three brothers and her mom, Dr. Dawn Estelle, spread the word about Team Winter and prostate cancer awareness. She spent three years as the IronKids Ambassador introducing kids to the sport of triathlon and encouraging kids to lead an active, positive and healthy lifestyle. She encourages kids to not only race for themselves but to race for cause. Each first place trophy she received was sent to a person affected by prostate cancer as a means of support and a gesture of goodwill. While most kids cherish their trophies, she cherishes the people she gives them to. Winter has an intense interest in helping find solutions to today’s growing obesity epidemic and speaks in schools across North America about “Fueling Your Body for Success”. She is a motivational speaker to all ages around the world and her talk on “No Limits” has reached many hospitals and corporations. She has received such prestigious awards as the Annika Sorentstam Inspiration Award and Massachusetts General Hospital “The One Hundred’ award in 2014.
“I founded Team Winter at age 9 after my dad was diagnosed at age 40 with a very aggressive form of Prostate Cancer. He passed away in 2009 before he even reached his 41st birthday.”
~Winter
After achieving two National triathlon titles in 2010 and 2011, Winter set her goals much higher. On November 10, 2103, Winter realized her dream and set a world record, not for her personal glory but to honor her dad and the 1 in 6 men affected by prostate cancer. Winter became the youngest person to run a marathon on all seven continents! In doing so, she also set a world record for the youngest person to run a marathon in Antarctica and with her mom, became the first mother/daughter to run a marathon on all seven continents. Winter captured her first marathon overall female win on what is claimed to be, “The Toughest Marathon in the World,” the Inca Trail Marathon. Winter ran the entire Inca Trail, including three mountain peaks reaching over 14,000 feet, in just 9 hours 18 minutes, setting a course record.
Winter continues to stay strong in triathlon and captured the 2013 age-group Regional title in XTERRA. In her first season of obstacle course racing with Spartan Race, she captured a 19 & under world championship victory and is a top elite women contender. Winter’s next goal is making the 2018 Winter Olympics in aerial skiing. She lives and trains year round in Park City, Utah at the Utah Olympic Park She is the current 2014 Jr. National Champion in aerials and took 5th at the 2014 Jr. World Freestyle Championships in Italy. Winter continues to seek avenues in breaking age and gender barriers in endurance sports. Winter is currently a Junior at the prestigious Stanford University Online High School. WinterVinecki.com

Shortly after starting their organization the Gulf oil spill happened (April 2010). Olivia and her brother came home from school and watched with their parents the first images of seabirds and sea turtles being pulled out of the Gulf caked in oil. Olivia immediately started to cry and she looked at her parents and asked, “What are we going to do about this problem?”
So they picked up the phone and contacted the four largest agencies involved with the animal rescue efforts. Each of the agencies gave them a list of badly needed animal rescue supplies. The two kids spent the next four months going from church to church, and from school to school giving presentations and asking for help collecting the supplies.
Then in late August of that year (on Olivia’s eighth birthday) the two kids headed to the Gulf to deliver the supplies. They spent 5-daysin the region and worked with the Marine Mammal & Sea Turtle Rescue Center who gladly accepted the collected supplies. The center had 146 sea turtles, several sharks and even a dolphin, all of which needed their care. The kids had a blast working at the center and meeting all the dedicated staff and volunteers who worked so hard to save these animals.
In Feb of 2011, on Carter’s 10th birthday, we launched our Plastic Awareness Coalition and we set out to get like minded local organizations to sign on with us so we would have enough clout to request meetings with local officials without being looked at as a mere kids group. Then, realizing that the wheels of change within the political arena turned slow, Carter and Olivia asked if we could somehow reach out to kids to share with them all that we had learned. After all, if we all care so much after learning about the problem, surely their peers would do the same. http://onemoregeneration.org

Our Practitioner Guest: Wendy Fachon is a Master Storywalker and Netwalker. She presents after school learning adventures for Child Opportunity Zone (COZ) programs around Rhode Island.

She has published a story CD, Fiddlesticks: Nature and Nonsense, and she contributes articles to Finding Spirituality, ecoRInews, and Natural Awakenings Magazine.

For children to thrive and be happy, a strong sense of security forms the foundation upon which they build their lives. This means a loving home in a safe neighborhood, caring neighbors, and a kind schooling environment. Children are truly nurtured in an environment where love, care, and kindness are modeled by adults and older children. When a child comes from a home where there is a lot of fear, depression, anger, abuse, or neglect, it is all the more important that the child be able to get support from friends and adults in the neighborhood, at school, in afterschool programs, and/or in local church communities.
Security or safety is also created by setting boundaries. Boundaries that are not too rigid, yet are clearly delineated and explained, make children feel safer. Children thrive when they have the freedom to roam, run around outdoors, and explore, yet they feel braver and safer when they know an attentive adult is supervising and keeping a general eye on the area and the activity.
Food security is also important. In the early years, the responsibility falls upon the adults to provide children with a well-balanced diet and whole nutrition to insure the healthy development of each child's body, mind, and spirit. This means providing a variety of fresh food that is as close to its original natural form as possible - without additives such as sweeteners, excess salt, artificial flavorings, synthetic colorings, chemical preservatives, and other unnecessary additives. Sharing healthy enjoyable food with children is part of creating a loving, caring, and kind environment. When both homes and schools fall short of providing adequate nutrition due to ignorance and/or lack of funds, children suffer. When children are well cared for by others, they are better able to identify and connect with their own inner power and draw upon that power to help others, which gives them a true sense of purpose and accomplishment.

Co-Hosts Risha & Rhea Shukla --Founded in 2004, the mission of The Kids Who Care Foundation is: ~Bring joy and cheer to kids with major surgeries/medical conditions with various KWCF programs: Smile Pack, and Traveling Variety Show
~Provide resources and support groups for children with Pancreatitis as well as their families.
Risha Shukla then a 7 year old who underwent an Auto Islet Cell transplant in March 2004 for chronic pancreatitis, understands very well the challenges of being in the hospital room and staring at the bare white walls.
The Kids Who Care Foundation, a 501c3 tax deductible non-profit foundation, was founded by Risha with the help of her parents to cheer up and support other children with pancreatitis and other chronic medical conditions. Kids Who Care’s mission is to brighten the hospital stays of kids having major surgeries. Kids Who Care volunteers send out “smile packs” to children in the hospital and Ronald McDonald Homes nationally to brighten the days of hospitalized children. A “smile pack” box contains a
giant “card quilt” consisting of twenty get-well cards made by caring youths. It also includes books/DVDs, toys, board games, and more to entertain patients in the hospital, bring a smile to their face, and make their hospital rooms bright and cheerful! Kids Who Care’s traveling variety show is also a big hit. Caring youths show off their talents to entertain children with special medical conditions by doing magic tricks, puppet shows, dancing, singing, and more. Risha also makes presentations at schools to educate kids on pancreatitis and diabetes, and teaches kids to be compassionate towards children with chronic medical conditions. Pancreatitis is a very painful, rare disease in children for which there is no cure. KWCF’s online pancreatitis support group provides information on pancreatitis to create awareness and a support network for kids.
Kids Who Care Club is headed by youths under the direction of caring adult volunteers, and entire families can contribute to help bring a smile! So please help Risha and Kids Who Care Foundation make a difference.

Co-Host JT Lewis
In 1994 over 1,000,000 Rwandan Tutsi's were killed by their neighboring Hutus within 100 days. Over 1,000,000 children were orphaned in one of the world's worst tragedies in history.
In December of 2012 JT Lewis lost his little brother, Jesse Lewis in the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. Reeling from this personal tragedy he had the opportunity to Skype with orphan genocide survivors who had heard about the shooting and wanted to reach out to JT. During the Skype call they told him that they were so sorry about what had happened to his brother and they shared their personal experiences of heartbreak where they watched many of their family members die. They told JT that through gratitude, forgiveness and compassion they have healed and are now leading lives filled with hope and joy. This started JT on his own healing journey and inspired him to give back to the people from around the globe that had reached out to him in love.
Knowing that these now young adults had no hope of going to college, JT set out to raise money to make their dreams come true. Several months after he began fundraising he was able to Skype back to the same group and announce that he had raised enough money to send one of them to college for a year. He has made the personal commitment to send this person to college for the remaining 3 years and hopes to do more.

Practitioner Beth Davis
How It All Started...Under the direction of their teacher, Beth Davis, the Kids 4 Kids Fill-A-Backpack Campaign was a project that was taken on by the students of the Jack D. Gordon Elementary Community School in Miami, Florida in 1996. The goal of the campaign was to fill new backpacks with school supplies for 500 homeless children living in shelters and attending public schools in Miami-Dade County and Broward County Florida, thus making the life of a child in need a little brighter.
Students in the club, as well as other students in the school and community, became so inspired in making a difference for other kids that, at the end of this first annual campaign, 1000 backpacks were collected, filled with school supplies, and delivered to homeless, abused, migrant, and foster children.
The second year, 1500 backpacks were collected; the third year, 3000 backpacks were collected. Over the next 3 years, 4000 backpacks were delivered each year. August 2002, and 2003 they deliver 6,000 backpacks to homeless, abused, migrant, and kids, and hospital homebound kids. They also deliver backpacks to the 1,000 students in Miami-Dade County's two double "F" schools so that on the first day of school, they will start out with the tools and self-esteem to begin their school year. For the last 17 years Kids 4 Kids has delivered over 75,000 backpacks and over 90,000 new books! http://www.kids4kids.org

Co-Host Nicholas Lowinger: I was inspired to start Gotta Have Sole Foundation because at a very young age I saw children in homeless shelters in Rhode Island who didn’t have shoes or had shoes that were used and falling apart. Some had to share footwear with a family member and missed school because it wasn’t their turn to wear the shoes that day, and others had sores on their feet from wearing shoes that didn’t fit them properly. I was devastated by this and wanted to help the children however I could. I started donating my gently used clothing and footwear but often didn’t have the correct sizes for the children. I knew that the only shoes that would fit them best would be new, correctly sized ones and hoped someday I would be able to donate these. http://www.gottahavesole.org/ghs/

Backpacks for New Beginnings (BP4NB) is a non-profit charity founded in 2009 by West Roxbury brothers Jackson and Tristan Kelley, currently ages 14 and 12. The brothers run the charity out of their home with the help of their parents and younger sister, Violet.

BP4NB is dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children including those in foster care, group homes and those who are homeless, by providing them with new backpacks filled with school supplies. When a child receives a new backpack filled with school supplies, it allows them to feel special, fit in with others, and start the school year prepared. Over the past 5 summers BP4NB has donated over 2300 new backpacks filled with school supplies, including over 800 this summer, to needy children in the Boston area. 100% of all donations are used to buy new backpacks and school supplies which are purchased on sale and in bulk in order to make donations go farther. All operating costs (stamps, printing, government fees, etc.) are funded by the Kelley Family.
