Ride for the Pink

In this hectic life we often forget how generous many people are and that small things we do can make a large impact.

I was reminded of these things yesterday at the Ride for the Pink, a motorcycle run and auction, etc., to raise money for breast cancer research. I met some really nice folks, saw some old friends and saw how truly generous people can be.

The most moving moment for me was when a gentleman, who lived near the event, stopped and donated an item to be auctioned off, he had just lost his wife THAT MORNING to cancer and yet he took time out of his grief to try to help others.

He inspired me with just his small act and I hope to follow his example with a small act of my own every day... it may just inspire someone else.
