So, I'm never any good at asking for things. In fact, getting my favourite dish cooked for me for dinner by Wife is a bit of a stretch at times.
However, there are times like these. Times when a man must swallow his pride, get down on his knees and humbly call upon the charity of the intertubes and ask... for cake.
I do a lot of charity work (for free, mind you, but I don't like to talk about it) and one of my preferred charities is the Woodside Special Care Centre. This Centre - find them here: http://www.woodside.org.za/ - has been caring for severely mentally and physically handicapped children since the 1970s. And they do phenomenal work.
Like any non-profit organisation, they struggle. But that's not the purpose of this post. I want to tell you about Bridget.
On Friday, March 30th 2012, Bridget turns 50. I can't begin to tell you what an achievement it is that a woman so severely disabled has been able to live this long. She has outlived her own mother, and was one of the first residents to be admitted to Woodside making her a resident here for 34 years.
What I am asking of you, Internet Users, for a Cake to celebrate Bridget's birthday.
Who's with me?
