A ray of hope

Amidst all the articles reporting about the tension that ensued in Greece and in the Maltese Parliament, one could find an article that exuded hope and courage. This is the story of Noel Aquilina who even though is disabled found hope in sports and will be covering 300 km from Messina to Pozzallo in a handcycle to collect money for Inspire. He will be accompanied by his coach, his daughter and manager. It is always nice to see that your work boss appreciates the efforts done to help those that are less fortunate than us. Following are the links to the article and to Inspire (formerly known as Razzett tal-Ħbiberija). May there be more of these initiatives and most of all may they be given more prominence. Malta and its people offer more than partisan pique when it comes to politics, religious feasts and football.
