“One small change in your lifestyle; one huge difference in your life.” Those are words that Blaine Pinch (pictured here) lives by, and they’ve gotten him very far. To be precise, they’ve gotten him 42.2 km.
Nearly 10 years ago, Blaine shed 80 lbs and ran the Ottawa Marathon. “I was the second-last person to finish,” says Blaine. “And I had raised over $1,000 for charity.” It’s that last part that sticks with Blaine.

If anyone can appreciate the sheer beauty of our planet, it’s someone who has seen it from outer space—looked down on it from the vast expanse of the universe, seen its rivers, forests, mountains, oceans, and jungles, and truly appreciated how delicate Earth really is.

SOCIAL DELTA – Movements start with…well, movement.
Thursday, September 3, 2009, Ottawa
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
The Chinese philosopher, Lao-Tzu, more than 500 years before the birth of Christ, is credited with this prophetic statement. The original Chinese script has also been translated as “The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one’s feet,” but either way, the importance of this quotation for social change remains constant:
The beginning of any social change begins from an understanding of where we are, and requires us to make a simple, purposeful action.
