Act 53: Acts Done By Others.

When I began the 100 Acts, I aimed to promote kindness, but I only started noticing just how kind others are after I started the project. 100 Acts has really helped me realise that kindness isn't a rarity, it's actually very common and around us all the time.

Today, I went into college on the bus. But, as I was on the school bus in, I got a text saying that the lesson I was going in for had been cancelled - there was no need for me to be at college all day. The lovely bus driver, Steve, drove me home. The bus depot for Atkinson's Coaches is just down the village from my house, so the lovely Steve dropped me off right outside my house. What a star.

Act 23: Things To Do Before You Die.

This is a fantastic act that was suggested by Alison on Twitter.

This act was suggested as a close friend of Alison has a YouTube series called "Things to do before you die" in aid of his friend, Ross, who sadly lost his life to cancer in 2010. He does some fantastic things that would be amazing if we could achieve in a lifetime. All the money that is made from the videos goes straight to the Ross Nugent Foundation that provides money for hospital equipment, in order to make life more comfortable for patients. He briefly explains the project himself, here. 


He is also an exceptionally talented musician (with a GORGEOUS Irish accent) and he makes and sells charity singles that are available to buy on iTunes. So, for today's act, Immy and I have bought 'The Ross Song' to help support the cause.

Thank you, Alison. This story is heart breaking and inspiring in equal measure, thank you for introducing me to this wondrous series.
