LeBron Message

Hey guys,

How are all of my AWESOME Wheels for Ed kids doing? I miss you guys!

I want you guys to pull up a map of the United States. My teammates are on the road right now. We’ve been gone since Thursday, and we don’t get home until the 17^th. This road trip takes us to: Brooklyn, NY; Phoenix, AZ; Salt Lake City, UT; Portland, OR; Sacramento, CA; and Oakland, CA. Can you find any of those cities on your map?

Now, pull up a map of Ohio. When I was your age, I was obsessed with the idea that Akron couldn’t be found on our classroom maps. The maps had Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland, but no Akron! I was upset, and I turned my anger into determination. I was going to put Akron on the map.

Is our city on there yet? Between everything you and I are doing, they need to have Akron on there by now!

Wherever I go, I tell people I’m just a kid from Akron. You make me proud to say that.

It’s tough being on the road away from my family and hometown but I feel good knowing that you guys are doing well. I hope you have a great week of school.

Your friend,

Mr. LeBron
