It does get cold in the burbs, but I will be down in the big city on February 25th for a 2 km hike to raise funds for First United Church. Their programs help the members of our community needing assistance with every day adventures of life — food, housing, addiction and mental health services to name a few. It never fails to amaze me how a person is bent over, trying to inject something into their arm while people cross the road, jump out of the way of the bus or lie on top of a a sidewalk grate. Cars honk, tents blow in the wind, and many different items are sold or traded. How many ways can you spell HELP!
