Amidst all the doom and gloom, these restore one's faith a bit.
I cry at the drop of a hat and made it to number 2 before getting all choked up.

One example of a random act of kindness - earlier in the year Katiem attended a wedding in near Newcastle. She'd prebooked a train ticket to take her into Newcastle, then pick up the connecting train to Leicester. The first train was late and she missed the connection. They wanted to charge her £96 to get from Newcastle to Leicester. She was in pieces on the station, she didn't have that sort of money and knew no-one locally who could help.
A very kind lady came to investigate and lent her £100.00 in cash. Katie let me know what was happening and I wrote out a cheque to the lady and posted it immediately. I also emailed her to thank her for stepping in and having the faith to help a stranger. She replied, thanking me for the cheque but saying she would shred it when it arrived, and asking me to donate it to charity if I felt so inclined. Needless to say, it went straight to RGT! What a star though.
I'd like to add to this a big shout out for all the people who've done a random act of kindness. Also for all those who run and support charities, who give up their time and money to help causes close to their hearts.
