A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR CARSON ANDREW OF AYNOR    FOR HIS HARD WORK IN RAISING MORE MONEY THAN ANY OTHER PARTICIPANT IN THE NATION FOR THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION'S JUMP ROPE FOR HEART CHARITY.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to learn that Carson Andrew raised $10,666 in donations for Jump Rope for Heart, a national fundraising program that promotes heart-healthy living, physical activity, and community service to children; and

Whereas, the money raised through Jump Rope for Heart funds lifesaving research and educational programs; and

Whereas, a student at Aynor Elementary, Carson Andrew raised $10,666 in local donations from the citizens of Aynor in 2011 and nearly as much this year, more money than any of the almost two million students involved nationwide; and

Whereas, his efforts helped to lead Aynor Elementary in raising $25,000 in 2011, and the school is currently ranked number one in the State for charitable donations raised for Jump Rope for Heart; and

Whereas, in memory of Mary Kate Lovell, his beloved cousin who succumbed to heart disease in 2009 at the age of six, Carson hopes to raise awareness of heart disease, the second cause of death among children under the age of fifteen. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and honor Carson Andrew of Aynor for his hard work in raising more money than any other participant in the nation for the American Heart Association's Jump Rope for Heart charity.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Carson Andrew.
