Okay, so I’ve been granted a blog. Yipes, what to say? “Just write” says my jollypeople.com partner. Okay, I’m writing 
.
Earlier musings have been simply musings.
The main interest in writing is about Charity Events. Supporting and promoting them. Hence jollypeople.com.
When you look at all the people in the world, their varying needs and concerns, it’s great that those who can help do by creating special interest Charities. To examine how many different Charities even exist in our home town of about four million is a big task. To do it globally, it’s breathtaking.
There are hundreds, thousands! Then we think of all those who work tirelessly to keep the Charity afloat so they’re able to do their good work helping people in need. Humbling. We’re in awe of them. We see the results. People given chances they could only dream about.
Recently some of us went on the Mother’s Day Classic Run or Walk. There was sixteen year old D. who ranher race, C. twenty-two who also ran. Then there was V, an eighty year old grandmom who walked the entire course with her grand-daughters. They felt satisfied, pleased they’d contributed and their sponsors who sponsored a gold coin or more enjoyed their success. The Charity raised funds well in excess of what they’d anticipated. The turn-out was huge.
We’ve been going a while now, we’re learning how much effort is put into these events. What’s great is when the effort is repaid. It’s really satisfying to see how events have grown, like the Mother’s Day Classic, like Movember.
It’s wonderful to think of people attending these events on an annual basis. They’re out training to enter the marathon events, the fun-runs. They’re working on creating breakfasts, lunches etcetera. Favorite pet days. Creating products others might buy.
Ideas are endless.
