I quite by accident came across this article today, http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/christine-loftss-mighty-record-40-years-of-fostering-380-children/story-fni0cx12-1227152849310 and felt that it certainly deserved an out-of-the-norm post for me!

Christine and her husband Ian have fostered over 380 children, many being special needs youngsters – suffering from autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. She was honored last night, earning the National Pride of Australia Care and Compassion Medal.

Way to go Christine and Ian!
