On my way out of the supermarket I pass a man holding up Tootsi Pops and melodically repeating the words, Childrens...Memorial...Hospital. When my kids were with me I'd give him 50 cents and he would give me 2 Tootsie Pops. I always wondered how much this little effort mattered. I saw him yesterday, but he wasn't holding any Tootsi Pops, or saying Childrens...Memorial...Hospital. I walked past him, out the store, but turned around and said I wasn't always able to give, but I thanked him for his committment. He said he had been collecting for 11 years. He recently met his goal of collecting $250,000.00. What an achievement! The power of one mans dedication to a cause.
