Never Complain

Today we were at the Children's Hospital 4k run and walk. I love volunteering at these events because I get to mingle with so many interesting people. The event was well organized, fun and full of a festive atmosphere; people from all walks of life didn't mind sharing their stories, triumphs and challenges. There were 'real' runners and runners at heart, the best were the ones who dressed up. The costumes were pretty amazing.  The whole day was awesome! It was great to be part of something bigger than yourself. What a huge benefit to the kids and parents at the hospital, some of which, we got to meet. I will tell you that I never felt so much love, compassion, understanding and caring in one place. Some kids had intellectual disabilities, like Myles and Nathan, others had physical challenges. But in the end it didn't matter - they were just kids who were enjoying the fresh air and companionship that only their loved ones could bring. Kudos to parents and friends who insist on an inclusive lifestyle so that your babies can enjoy many of the good things our community has to offer.
