Bonum Cursum

I often try to participate in this race but over the years the timing has never quite worked out especially during the times I spent long stretches working at sea. Still my family and I always make an effort to be here whenever we can. This is the Hospice Run and it is very close to our hearts. Every year we run to support children who are seriously ill and living in hospices. The organizers donate 100 percent of the race proceeds to them so every step we take helps these brave little ones and their families. Knowing how many sick children rely on this support makes every kilometer feel meaningful. For us coming here is not just about running it is about family hope and doing what we can to bring a bit of comfort and care to children who need it the most.

P.S. If you would like to support this hospice you can visit their website. You can also support this itas well as other hospices and organizations helping sick children. Lately I have been thinking that in today’s world it sometimes feels like so many fundraising efforts go to things that are not essential, like trips or events, while there is still so much real need. I just wanted to share this thought.
