Time: 7:00 A.M. Emily Stupi dives into (跳进) the pool. Cold water hits her, and it's hard to catch her breath. Pulling her arms through the water, Emily begins her first of eight laps (圈). She wants to complete the triathlon (铁人三项).
Emily shakes with cold as she gets out of the pool. Along with three hundred other children and adults, she heads into the one-mile run, followed by a four-and-a-half-mile bike ride.
The triathlon is being held in Glendale, Arizona, and the temperature is freezing on the late-October morning. But seeing her father's warm smile makes Emily forget about the cold.
Emily feels lucky to have her father here today. Three years ago, doctors discovered that he had skin cancer. His treatments made him feel tired and sick, but he believed he was going to get better. Emily says, “Courage is something that all people have inside, and they use it to make the world a brave and happy place. My dad showed great courage when he got cancer.”
Emily asked a lot of questions about her father's illness. Her mom says, “We had a family discussion and gave her all the facts. We talked about what cancer is and how money is raised for aid (援助) and research.”
Emily made a promise to herself and to her family that she would compete in the triathlon to raise money to help cancer patients. She trained hard for three months, swimming, running and biking several times a week. She then sent out 150 letters asking for donations (捐赠). Her dad matched the money, and Emily gave $7,000 to the American Cancer Society.
Emily says she was nervous on the day of the race. “My stomach felt weak, and the water was cold.” But Emily completed the race and lived up to her promise to help fight cancer.

When high school student Katie Shipley was born with a serious brain disease, doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school.
Now, Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon, but she was also named the school's prom (高中毕业舞会) queen.
Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen, her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen. Courtney found Michael Parks, who also thought it was a great idea.
“I really got to know Shipley,” said Michael. “When you take the time to get to know other people, it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself.”
Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twitter, explaining their plans for the prom. “It became very popular in the school,” she said.
Their efforts paid off, and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen.
On the day of the prom, Katie wore a very beautiful dress. Her grandmother, Joan Fraley, who also went to the prom, said the night will stay with her always.
“I was standing there and the children were shouting her name,” she said. “They called her name as the new prom queen — I started crying. I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southridge High School.”
Katie repeated that feeling.
“I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me. I love you all.”
Todd Corsetti, the principal (校长) at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his “proudest moments.”
