I met a woman today and the subject moved onto talking about her family. She mentioned that one of her children had been badly injured in an accident a while back.
The local RACQ CareFlight rescue helicopter flew in with a medical team and worked on her child, before rapidly getting him (and mum) to a major hospital. He made a full recovery.
I mentioned (proudly I might add!) that we are big supporters of RACQ CareFlight. We originally provided our services - we developed their web site, e-commerce function, newsletters, etc - as a way to promote our business and create some awareness.
And as fantastic as the RACQ CareFlight team have supported us (arranging media coverage for us, telling everyone about us, etc), that value has paled into insignificance when compared to the very wonderful feeling that we get from knowing we have helped support some decent people, a decent service and a really great cause.
Sometimes you contribute just a little and receive a lot.
Funny how that happens.
Have a good day.
Brendon
