A Little Bit of Awesome: 3/2/2021 Edition

Ollie Ripley is awesome. He’s raising money for the mental health charity Mind, and the way he’s doing it is pretty cool. He’s running to the pub every day until they’re open again.
So far, he’s raised about $3,000, and that’s pretty awesome.


Gabe Dannebring is a teacher, and that automatically makes him awesome. And Gabe just shared some of the real comments his students have said to him this month.
