Almost a year ago my greatest inspiration in life gained her wings and took flight into the infinite beyond. Her sole wish was for kindness. Her belief was that the world would be a better place if we could all just be kind. I watched as she tirelessly supported causes close to her heart regardless of the challenges she was facing herself. One of her simplest pleasures in life was being a ‘wish fairy’ for Make-A-Wish Australia. There was no greater joy for her than seeing the magical delight light up a young child’s face as they received HOPE. A promise of goodness in otherwise dark times. A promise that there was hope for happiness in a time of sadness. As I lost my heart, Make-A-Wish lost one of their most joyful, creative, innovative and loving supporters. As a legacy to the remarkable being that Sharon Ryan was here on Earth, I am pledging to run 300km in the 30 day lead up to the anniversary of her passing on the 30th August. I am doing this with the ultimate goal of raising $3000 to make some very special little wishes come true. Please help me to shine a light of hope into the lives of some incredibly deserving battling little ones! You can follow the journey @Running4wishes on Instagram #shinebrightfirefly
