My friend Edwina Dighton's father, Davo was diagnosed with a blood cancer, MDS, but rather than sitting around feeling sorry for herself, Edwina starting making the world around her better...
Edwina started "Davo's Bloody Donors", a group that regularly gets together at the Chatswood Red Cross and gives blood to help people like Davo who desperately need it. A friend from high school, the wife of a very good friend and former AFL team mate, and the MC of Give it a Crack last year, I've always thought Ed's devotion to helping her father during his battle with MDS was impressive, but today I saw this video she has made...:

...and my opinion has gone up immeasurably.
Ed didn't want to change the world when she started "Davo's Bloody Donors" (which you can follow on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/DavosBloodyDonors), she just wanted to help her sick Dad, but she proved to me after watching this video, that you don't need to aim for huge things to change the world, small acts of kindness can make yours, or the people around you's lives better.
