In everyone's life there are those moments that help define us deep down as a person. One of those moments is when we make a decision to help someone else for no other reason than the fact that they need you, right then and there. It's the point of stepping up for another human being and asking nothing in return.
The Sick Kids Radiothon is that for us. When you hear our begging for donations and continually asking our listeners to join us…and you do. That is that moment for you. Whether trying to work your phone through tears in your eyes after hearing someone's terrible story, or simply coming to the conclusion that, “Yeah, I can afford this and I want to help.” That moment is what keeps all of us going. US, being you and we.
You always hear the phrasing around Christmas about how nice it would be if everyone treated each other like that year round. For 3 days each spring, magically, that feeling comes back out with a mountain of outpouring of help for strangers.Thank you.
I could go on and on for pages but I'm guessing you're likely a person that just quietly knows and feels no thanks are necessary. Making that call was enough for you. Hey, Thank you anyway.
To the countless staff and volunteers from Foresters, the hospital and the radio stations, the cliché is so true. “We couldn't have done it without you.” Simply, just no way.
