Last year at work we started a Sunshine Fund. The basic premise of the club is that people you truly hate (co-workers) want to celebrate all of life's joys at the work place.
Events such as your birthday at the work place. a baby shower or a work place injury are just a few examples of when the Sunshine Fund kicks in. They pass a card around to help buoy fellow co-workers spirits and in no time your nasty paper cut or some toner in your eye don't seem to hurt as much.
Recently at Team Redlands we have seen a rash of crashes, falls and injuries. Lets face it we have all been on the ground at one point in our cycling career. Days and weeks go bye and no card, no phone call and no Vermont teddy bear.
I can speak for myself and nothing moved me as much as the time I hit that porta potty and broke 3 ribs and JT sent me a bouquet made up of edible fruit.
So in keeping with the sense of family that people like JT have always embraced let's get the Sunshine fund up and running. Nobody wants to hit a porta potty but it's good to know a Hallmark card will take the stink away.
