4 days to go….. #ICU
There are 4 days to go until #ICU 2019 and I am counting on everyone reading this, everyone I have emailed, everyone who has told the person at work about it…all of you…to make this the success it was last year.
#ICU started because I wanted people to show love and respect to EVERYONE who deserved it. Even if you don’t know the persons names. Even if you have never met the person. If you know someone who deserves to a big shout out on the 14th of Feb, then this is the place to do it.
So todays blog is not about me telling you why you should take part in #ICU. Todays blog is your chance to read a part of the silent prayer from last year. And then…on the 14.2.19….Well….. I hope to hear you use your voice:
The silent prayer #ICU 2018
