The big day is tomorrow and the weather isn't looking too cooperative. May-haps we'll get lucky and repeat the previous years' meterology miracle: as soon as the kids arrive, the weather starts to improve.
But it's better than sunshine, watching the wee ones running around with shirts that say "I'm walking for me".
Yes, the statistics are grim for cancers, heart attacks, car accidents, and a countless number of other horrible things... but first life has to have a start. Sometimes it's overcoming the hopelessness of that start that is the biggest challenge.
Tomorrow there will be children walking who were forcast to be paralysed, siblings on bikes in honour of their brother or sister who never made it home, and parents running whose worst days were standing at the side of a plastic box.
And they all do it to improve someone else's start. The donations do not benefit them as they face developmental challenges, lack of funding for therapies or bring back a beloved child who never saw the light of day.
Thank you for donating, for participating, for Making a Big Difference in Tiny Lives.
