Young athlete aspires to go 'Down Under' (2)
BALTIMORE - Kisha Thomas, 16, a member of Elderslie-St. Andrews UMC, is a gifted athlete and all-round student, according to her pastor, the Rev. Robert Walker Jr. 'Kisha is active in our sound ministry, youth group, ushers, sings and baby-sits,' Walker said.
She attends Randallstown High School where she has qualified for the state finals in track in the 55 meter, 100 meter, 200 meter and 200 meter relay team. She has also been selected to represent the United States running track on the Down Under Sports Tour this summer.
Her pastor is now appealing for financial assistance to help her raise the $4,000 to cover airfare, food and lodging while in Australia.
Checks may be written to Kisha Thomas and sent to her mother who is setting up a special account for the donations, to Camille Bernal-Helices, 3103 Glen Ave., Baltimore, MD 21215.
