On Wed 2nd December, Dunc and I took part in the annual 'Kids R Christmas' parade at Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick. Dressed as Snow White and a large Elf, we joined 20 other Christmas/Disney characters and were split into four groups. Led by hospital volunteers we were taken around different wards handing out bags of presents and balloons to all the babies, kids and teenagers unfortunate enough to be spending this time of the year in hospital. My special friend, Dee, has been organising the parades (also at Westmead Hospital) for the past ten years with a friend of hers. It is a mere drop in the ocean but the parents and doctors are thrilled for the kids to have a brief distraction from often long stays in hospital and the kids loved receiving the goodies unexpectedly.
