One of the things I miss about not having children is not
having activities to support, sports to watch and cheer from the sidelines,
music lessons and practice to supervise. But on the plus side, I don’t have to
hit up friends and relatives and neighbours for fund-raising for Plunket, for
the schools or sports teams or overseas trips. I don’t have to sell raffle
tickets or Girl Guide biscuits, or the fund-raising chocolates that seem these
days to be ubiquitous in workplaces. I don't inundate my friends here or on
Facebook with these fund-raising requests, or ball photos or bragging about sports
teams or exam results or what they cooked me for breakfast on Mother's Day. I don't get to do any
of that.
So when I saw that the daughter of a friend of mine was
involved in a campaign, I decided I should support her. I’ve only ever used my
blog one other time to try to garner support for someone doing something I believed in. So I’ll keep it short and sweet. But you can read more about
Maddie and her campaign here.
Please indulge me just this once.
Hi! Of course I clicked over. and clicked again, and ended up an her face*book page. Is there anything I can do if I don't have an account?
ReplyDeleteI'm not actually sure, Valery. I'll check. And thanks for trying at least!
DeleteShe has an instagram page too - http://instagram.com/mwtogallipoli2015 But I don't have an instagram account! Clearly she should have set up a blog too!
DeleteThis is very sweet you know...

Liked it so I could follow along.
ReplyDeleteI'm following too - I hope she meets her goal!
ReplyDeleteso true!! I got an email from a kiddo I used to coach, asking for a donation for his high school team and I was so happy to do it. I also really enjoy going to some of the kids running events now, because it isn't something I'm obligated to - just something I enjoy.
