I would just like to put this out there! If your kids are not around special needs kids at school and have never been taught that not everyone is the same, then maybe you could take 10 min. tonight to explain this to them, because, even though they may not be around these kids at school, they may see them at church, at the mall, at the grocery store, or even at the park. In light of recent events on the exclusion of a child who has autism from participating in a school trip and a Down Syndrome child being kicked out of dance class because she couldn't keep up, I feel the need to write this. There are boys and girls that nobody invites to birthday parties for example. There are special kids who want to belong to a team but don't get selected because it is more important to win than include these children. Children with special needs are not rare or strange; they only want what everyone else wants - to be accepted !!
Can I ask a question? Is there anyone willing to copy and paste this post to their wall without sharing it?

Thanks Emily-Jayne Abbott.. this message does need to get out there

Happy mother’s day to all the mommies out there who make the sacrifices (seen and unseen) for our kids and our families.
You’re all loved and appreciated.
If you still have yours please show her love and appreciation because I miss mine every day and I wish I could be able to call her and say thank you and I love her.

NON RIDERS TAKE NOTE!!!!!
Riders know this, but the general public may not be aware. If you have never been part of a benefit or group ride you should know at least this:
Bikers PAY to ride. Something they could do for free. But they choose to pay to ride, the fee can be anywhere between R100 to R200 or R300 per person. Not only do they pay to ride, they usually drop a lot of cash for the extras. Raffles, 50/50, and silent auctions, even Toy Runs for kids....
When you see a group ride by, they are probably riding for charity/great causes/benefits! Instead of getting upset because they blocked traffic or caused you a slight delay, please remember this: They are very generous people!!!
Give them space and your patience. It sometimes helps to have a little reminder about things. So please be patient and smile when you see them because they are doing something good for someone you may know, or for a good cause.
