Thanksgiving: Be grateful for 11 year old Brenden and a fresh dose of perspective
From the archive: published Nov 25, 2008, 17 years ago. Details may have changed since.
Check out this inspiring video of 11 year old Brenden, who made a difference. Despite suffering Leukaemia he helped the homeless, and lived a courageous life.
I think my heart broke when the interviewer asked, “What makes you sad, sweetie?” and he replied “When people give up.”
He also said that the greatest thing about life, was having one. Puts your crappy day in perspective, doesn’t it?
Rest in peace Brenden Foster
