September is the month in which the Terry Fox Run is held, and for us this September is particularly meaningful since we have our own leg-challenged athlete.P isn't quite ready to embrace a marathon, but he is wielding the crutches effectively and has been exploring around the house. He's even been to check the mail box!
In all seriousness, the Terry Fox Foundation is an admirable and worthy charity and I encourage you to make it your charity of choice. At our school, I'm organizing the National School Day Run (Thursday, September 30, 2010) and I'm proud to say that all classes are participating, from JK/SK all the way to Grade 8.
I agree with you fully! Walking or running for a worthy cause is just about the best feeling ever. Glad to see Pete out and about. Now if he just had another arm for waving.... (or is that a blonde joke)
