Brighton: Find Rabby Update »

Regular readers will know that a couple of weeks ago, my son lost his Superman bag containing some Lego and, more importantly, his best friend since he was born - a small, greying, cuddly toy rabbit by the name of Rabby.
There have been many tears shed since Rabby was lost. Knowing that we may never see him again has been unbearable for all of us. My little boy has had ups and downs and has faced many new challenges, such as the start of a new school term, without the security that he’d once found in his best mate. It’s been hard.
My (ex)Wife and I have been bracing ourselves for the worst. We discussed the possibility that Sam may need to find some closure on the matter. Perhaps a little ceremony? Do I start digging a little hole in the garden maybe? I’m not sure what would help exactly…
Well, just 2 days ago, we were called with some news about “a kids bag that has some toys in it“.
Could this be Sam’s bag?
It’s been several weeks since it was lost. What are the chances that this could be the right bag? Each day that passes and it’s getting slim, right? How many kids lose their bags with toys in it?
Let’s not get our hopes up. It’s easy for dreams to be destroyed…

Yesterday, Stephen Pierce launched an appeal - For A Greater Cause - to help feed 1,000,000 starving children. His aim is to raise enough money within 72 hours to provide a meal for each starving child. Simply visit the website and add your name to download a free report and for each name that is collected, a plate of food will be donated to feed a starving child.
I applaud his efforts and also his intentions. If you are reading this, I would urge you all to add your name NOW. I already have done. It only takes a minute to sign up and help.
While I am very much impressed with the goal that has been set and Stephen’s desire to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves, I have concerns about the methods employed. Thinking about what it takes to get people to help each other, I am left with the bitter taste of cynicism as I consider - do we really need to be bribed to make a donation?
