Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hyde family today. As Vance, Catherine Ryan Hyde's mother passed away today. As members of the PIF group we all feel a sense of lost to our Pay It Forward online community.
Catherine Ryan Hyde is the author of Pay It Forward the book. Catherine was the first person inducted into the Pay It Forward Hall of Fame earlier this year for her contribution to the movement. Catherine never dreamed that her book would inspire a movement, simply by asking other people to pay forward acts of kindness. I confess to only reading Catherine's book last week. It was one of those books that leaves you inspired to leave the world behind a better place than when you arrived. And we can certainly say that Vance Hyde has done that.
As a fellow writing a sat in awe as the book Pay It Forward took me on the most unexpected journey, as though to plead with the reader to never lose hope in the compassion of other human beings.
April 26 2012 would of being Vance's 90th Birthday, so it seems so fitting the PIF community has renamed Pay It Forward Day 2012 - Vance's Pay It Forward Day.
On April 26 we are inviting you to Pay It Forward to someone in honour of Vance's memory.
New Pay It Forward Day memorial cards will be designed and Posted to our downloads page in time to use on the 26 April. Please be remember Catherine and her family in your thoughts prayers at this time.
Lovely work! I'm definitely going to visit the blog frequently.
