Lifes Like That

Anybody from Canada will know exactly what I’m talking about.  Years ago there was a man called “Terry Fox” that had Cancer and needed to have his leg amputated.  But, he still ran on an artificial leg all across Canada raising money to find a cure for Cancer.  Unfortunately he died, but his memory most certainly lives on.  Every year around this time of year there are many runs and walks in support of what he what he was trying to accomplish and in his memory.

My daughter came home from school and informed me that her school would be participating in one of these walks on Friday.  The school has asked that the kids bring in money as a donation.  The amount of money doesn’t matter, just the donation itself.  This morning she came out of her room with her dollar that she earned doing dishes and informed me that she was giving this money for the cause.  I think this is extremely wonderful as she wants to donate her own money for this very worthwhile cost.  We gave our son some money as he didn’t have any money himself, but if he had any money, I know he would have given his as well.
