Bristol youth helps Boston marathon bombing victims

Brooklyn Mullenax is at it again.  Last year she crafted bracelets, wallets and purses out of duct tape and sold them to raise money for Marisa Kay Vincent who was run over by a bobcat loader.  She also sold lemonade.  With the recent Boston Marathon bombings, she wanted to help again.  She was going to use duct tape again to make things, but her dad, Gus Mullenax, convinced to think of something new.  So, they decided upon T-shirts.  Brooklyn decided on one decide out of 30 she did.  It has a road inside of a peace sign, calling it the road to healing.  

Working with a local T-shirt printer, she's selling the T-shirts and donating all proceeds to The One Fund which helps the Boston marathon bombing victims.  But, she said a part of the proceeds will be denoted to a separate funds which is specific to the 8-year-old victim, Martin Richard.  As of May 2, 2013, 400 of the T-shirts have been sold.  She hopes to eventually sell 1,000 T-shirts.

This 4th grader from Bristol, Ohio has done more in the last couple years that most people have done in their entire lives.  She's giving to people who need help.  If she doesn't have the money she's raising it.  I can't imagine what she'll be able to do if she continues on this path of greatness.

Do good things.
