This article is about the Kiwanis Colour Cribbage Ride and how the riders
got through the ride. The first year Shelia did the ride the weather was miserable
and cold. The thing that kept her going was the volunteers cheering her on and
giving her little heart warm gifts like a homemade sandwiches. The other part
that made the ride memorable is the Picton Palace that they had lunch at. Now
every year she is excited to see the volunteers and to have lunch in a fancy
building. In the end she states how more and more people join every year and
what the ride raises money for.
This article reminded me of when I was younger. I got
sick during a race and wanted to stop but with the support of my school I finished
the race and even came in first. It shows how big of an impact people encouraging
each other can make. You never know a person can be on the tipping point and just
that little bit of encouragement can push them to the best of their abilities.
