I am participating in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon to support the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Will you help me support St. Jude by donating today?

Currently, we have "edged" into first place for online fundraising for St. Jude at the Chicago Marathon ! Please help keep us there!!
How your donation helps
- Thanks to donors like you, no family ever pays St. Jude for anything, including lodging, food and travel.
- St. Jude will continue to improve treatment of childhood cancer and other deadly diseases through its groundbreaking research.
- For every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries.
Please visit my St. Jude Heroes fundraising page to make a donation. It doesn't have to be a "BIG" donation. Any amount will help and will be greatly appreciated!

Each year the award will be given to a young black belt who I know exhibits Christopher's: Heart, courage, and high standards ! In this way we can honor and perpetuate Christopher's spirit through other young martial artists. This is an award given to a special person each year in the honor of Christopher - another very special person.

Bully Busting
Master Hendrix has designed a BULLY program for elementary school classes that does not involve contact but rather a discussion in how to identify and deal with the bully "situation". If you think your child's class could benefit from this program, please have the teacher contact Master Hendrix. The program is FREE.

OUR MASCOT: "Athena"
|
As a fun side note we would like to give a little pat on the head to EMA's mascot "ATHENA the Great Dane" for passing her good citizenship training. She spent nearly three weeks with Charlie Holder from Charlie's K-9's in Clemmons, NC. She can now: Come when called, Heel, Sit, Lie Down and Stay. She can also nearly do all of these commands off leash! Big thanks to Mr. Holder. |
