After all the muck of the last couple of days I thought people might appreciate a nice story.
In an era of Instagram-ready birthday parties for children where parents are prepared to pay thousands for an event and children are showered with presents, Belconnen girl Lucinda McGarrigan is a welcome exception to the rule.
The nine-year-old with the sweet smile has also proved to be pure of heart, choosing for three of her last four birthdays to ask her friends attending her party not to bring presents for her but instead to make a donation to St Vincent de Paul.
Her motivation? Simply, "to help people''.
