Run for hope !

I have created the initiative RUN FOR HOPE and invite all runners world-wide to share this mind-set:

Each time you participate in an official race, give a small donation to charity !

I invite all Danish runners to donate to RUN FOR HOPE, however, you may also donate directly to a charity organisation of your own choise. Either way, mark your donation ‘RUN FOR HOPE’ to focus your mind-set to the thought that each time you give yourself the pleasure and the luxury of running an official race, you also help others in need, and that you in this mind-set is a part of a greater running community.

Join the initiative – strenghen your mind and body – and help others on your way !

And now she is dead

Some years ago I was the chairman of our ‘road community’. I had several infights with various neighbours complaining about each other, noise, loud music, stray garden fences…all the stuff you have between neighbours. One lady was a particularly tough dance…very aggressive, very arrogant. However, I kinda ended on good terms with her, calming the issues for her, helped her out with some of her other idiotic neighbours. She sold the house five years ago. So today, I read in the paper that she had died at age 58.

Morale ? Life is so short ! Pick your friends and your enemies carefully and thresure both…  and beware that everything is only once…and then it is gone … forever… in reality, however, forever present in your mind and memory. So…cheerish your life and give yourself, your friends and your loved-ones memorable moments !
