Program
2 parts to the programme today.
1//Debra from Kids Ability spoke to us to drum up interest and support for the upcoming fun run.
Kids ability is now at 5 sites in the region. In Cambridge it has provided life changing therapy to many children with developmental and physical challenges.
Leigha, this years Kids Ability Ambassador will be at the Fun Run.
2//Bob Bedford introduced Michelle Gellatly from the Cambridge Humane Society. They promote health and safety for animals. Owning a pet is a priviledge. They provide temporary care, foster adoption of animals into good situations. They provide care if owners are in hospital. They are always in need of pet supplies and money for vet. treatments.  They are trying to grow a Compassion Fund for Pet cremation.
On April 20th, which happens to be this weekend, they are having and Adoptathon. If you fancy a cute rabbit or kitten now is your opportunity to act.
 
Here is a bad Easter joke from the editorial department. What do you call a rabbit with fleas?  Bugs Bunny.  What kind of jewellry does the Easter Bunny wears?  18 carrot gold.
And remember, Hare today, goon tomorrow. So be an Inspiration. Happy Easter.
