Julie and Tessa Shevlin

Julie and Tessa Shevlin entered in a video contest called Cartwheels for a Cause. The winner was based on the most votes by the public, and Julie and Tessa’s video WON FIRST PLACE and $5,000. Julie and Tessa also received $1,000, which they turned around and donated to Cure JM. In addition to this, the Shevlin family recruited 50 runners for Team Tessa to run on behalf of Cure JM in the Seattle Marathon. They also introduced a way to get the kids involved with a chart to mark off their miles walked - with a goal of 26. Along the way, the kids get special rewards for their miles, including watching a movie. As if this wasn’t enough, the Shevlin family held a fundraiser/auction on June 21st at the Space Needle raising over $30,000!
