(Cushing, Okla.)  Hannah Blankenship may only be seven years old, but she is setting the example for children and adults that "to give is better than to receive."

Hannah, a student at Harmony School, is in her second year of 4-H where she has been participating in the Bottle/Bucket Calf Program.  Recently she sold her calves - Skippy and Scratchy - and told her parents that instead of keeping the proceeds, she wanted to give her profits to the American Cancer Society in honor of her three-year-old friend Graem who was recently diagnosed with leukemia.

Touched by their child's generosity, her parents Chris and Jennifer matched her amount of $50 and yet another friend chipped-in an additional $20 - bringing the donated amount to a grand total of $120.

When asked if she planned to do it again, Hannah gave a definite nod, along with the hope that others will follow her lead.

"I want them to find a cure for Graem," she said softly.

Hannah presented the money to the Mini-Relayers Team at Friday night's Relay for Life event, May 6, 2011.
