TEAMWORK...

I'm not one for teams. Have never played a team sport, and not good at all with a crowd, especially when I don't know anyone. Hello anxiety.

However this past weekend was a great example of how teamwork gets things done. It was the Cancer Council Casey Relay for Life 2019...and our group, Mobile Book Worms took to the track.

This group is part from work, partners and children, ex-workers and even friends of friends. 

It takes some captaining to get this group together and our Fay is amazing. She does it year after year and always with a smile, even if a tired one.

This year was hard. It was hot, very hot. There were fires locally (staff members had been evacuated ) and the skies were smoke choked and the sun at one point was blood red.

But we walked, and we walked and we walked.

I walked for so many people. So many loved ones and family have died from cancer, but my main two were mum and dad. Both lost to this horrid disease.

And we walk to raise money. Money for research, to discover a cure.

We walk for HOPE.

In so many ways I don't do groups. All of my interests and hobbies are solitary ones. Crafts and gardening. Writing is a great example. 

However it's when you come together that great things are forged. With my writing group we get the chance to offer critique and to empower each other. To push and prod, to encourage and promote.  We are there for each other.

The same with the Mobile Book Worms. 

We encourage each other. Another lap. Rest, then another lap....

Teamwork creating amazing things.
