It takes not a village of people to get kids to run, but a village of mini-figures. Yes…it was a late night for this Lego creator. As these awards sit on my desk getting ready to be brought into their new homes, I like to envision the homes they may go to. Your home may be full of baseball, soccer or karate trophies that may collect dust on the shelf. I hope that when these trophies join the their real Italian marble base counterparts, they will have a special place in the hearts of their recipients. Why…because these Lego mini figures have heart. Like the runner that carries it home, they have shown us what it takes to build a better person, one brick at a time. I hope that when a child sits in bed and stares at the shelf above, he or she sees his or her own potential realized. All of the kids that do Go Far deserve one of these and I wish I could make one for everyone. Ahhh…so many little mini-figures…so many little victories!
