folks
just to say that I am a bit disillusioned.
there doesn't seem to be any support for this years charity run at all.
I am not going anywhere for the holidays, got a business to look after until the 24th, and it is a hectic trading time for us now, but I can still make the Sunday event.
I have already purchased

remote control car -- school shoes kids size 13 -- game

but it would look terrible if only Dewald and myself and possibly one or two others arrive there.
When compared to the Compass event, this is a poor turn-out
and all because
1)I "suggested" this organization, as
there were no other suggestions coming forward
2)Dewald decided to step up and become involved as well, but the support was only in "drips-and-drabs", whereas a last minute call to a "run" for Paul Walker draws a massive turn-out.....???
3)Its the only one that I physically know of in my town
4)And then the NGO status caused many to pull out, to the extent that the largest BMWFanatic group in SA (Gauteng) is basically going to be a "non-event".
I was speaking with a well-known local butchery about sponsoring a few braai-packs, as well as the local newspaper for coverage, but once the thread and support went "south" I stopped pursuing the sponsorship, due to disappointment and lack of enthusiasm on my side.
so....what is happening....IF ANYTHING...this Sunday ?
I don't think I am going to arrive there on my own with a set of gifts for only one of the children.
