My five year old grandson goes to a Karate School. As well as Karate they are being taught about social responsibility and caring for others.

Later this month they are doing a Sponsored event to help swell the funds for our Soldiers.

AS one of the younger ones, his task is to carry a bag of sugar ("2 lbs" approximately) in his haversack while completing an obstacle course. While the children undertake their tasks suitable for their age group, a 67 year old retired Soldier will be running on a treadmill in a corner of the room. No doubt all will have fun and a sense of achievement.

What a brilliant concept, from the youngest to the oldest, they have a common purpose to help other people - Our Soldiers, who are giving so much.
