Small Acts for a BIG Reason

So I just saw this shared by Shawn Achor on his Facebook page (I wrote about seeing him in person for a presentation here).  I had to share it.  Grab a tissue. 

It quickly reminded me why my daughters are raising money to purchase a bike for a child they have never met. A small act, but a big reason WHY teaching kindness is so important.  You don't need to know someone to put yourself in their shoes.   

This video shows people who gave of themselves to help one person at a time.  Reminded me of Deb, and how Preston's March is making so many kids happy.  One kid at a time.






I have been chatting with Deb (from Preston's March for Energy), and she asked if the girls could present the bike to Sam, the recipient, at their upcoming  5K race here in Delaware.  The little boy doesn't know he is getting the bike~which makes it even more fun!

We are quite a bit away from our goal of being able to fund the bike totally ourselves, so I am going to make a few final pushes here to secure as much as possible to donate at the time of the bike unveiling.  

If you are able to donate at all, ANY amount is really appreciated!!!!  I would love to be able to hand over the full amount :)  

Here is our GO FUND ME page, where you can make an easy donation online.

As of now, Preston's March is fronting the money, as they had to order the bike parts from overseas.  It will be put together here in Delaware, meeting the needs of Sam, and making it perfect, just for him (I hear his favorite color is orange...).

THANK YOU in advance if you can contribute at all, and come out to see Sam get his bike if you can!  We are also accepting off-line donations as well.


Enjoy a scenic 5K run/walk with your friends and family on the beautiful Delaware Greenway! Afterwards vendors who focus on Family Fun/Health will be available for exhibition and information. Food/Fun/Music for all! 

FAMILY DISCOUNT FOR 4 OR MORE MEMBERS!
