Good morning, HapiFriends! 👋

Today is April 6th, and on this day in 1896, the first Olympic Games of the modern era opened in Athens, 1,500 years after the original games were banned by the Roman emperor. The event was a great success, attracting the largest international participation of any sporting event to date and celebrating the spirit of unity and competition.

In today's world, we continue to cherish the moments that bring people together from all walks of life. Let's take a moment to celebrate our global community and the power of sports to unite us all.

Alrighty... let's dive into some good news stories! 👇

Stranger Replaces 3-Year-Old's Stolen Bike 🚲

In an inspiring display of selflessness, an anonymous woman has gifted a brand-new bike to a 3-year-old boy whose Spiderman bicycle was stolen. Despite facing personal struggles and living out of her car, the kind-hearted woman drove from a different county to provide the boy with not only a new bicycle but also a matching helmet and bike lock.

Moved by her generosity, a store clerk helped cover her tolls, and the Mid-Coast Recovery Coalition is now collecting donations to support her. The Rockland Police Department has seen an outpouring of community spirit, with people calling to offer help and even ordering additional children's bikes for those in need. The story serves as a heartwarming reminder of the power of kindness and community.
