HUG and Run for the Kids (Olle)

It’s always easy to forget how fortunate we are.

Many people across the world cannot even read this message. Is there something wrong perhaps?

I know we do our best not to think about these things. We watch charity events, we throw a dollar in a can and we go puhh.  It’s just too much out there. Have a feel for these words:

POVERTY

STARVATION

GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS

GLOBAL WARMING

INEQUALITY…

Well done, humanity! We tend to leave quite a mess after ourselves, don’t we? So what we can we do about this?

The answer is simple: we do what we can.

That’s why you’ll be seeing me in a volunteer shirt for Run for the Kids this Sunday. The race raises (that’s an unexpected tongue twister) money for the Royal Children’s Hospital. Next year you should be there too. It’ll be great fun!

I could go on about this subject, but I’m afraid it’ll sound too cute, too “cliché” (which, in arts terms, apparently is something insulting). So I’ll stop right there – for those uninterested…
