If you ever needed a good news story for a Monday morning this surely fits the bill. A little girl left her Teddy Bear on an East Coast train and a nice lady saved the bear and ran a social media campaign to return the much loved fuzzy friend to their Human. We are overjoyed to announce that the Facebook and Twitter Campaign for #LostBear has been a success.

Now, if you’ve been missing Reasons to be Cheerful from last week I regret that I was struck down by a hideous head cold and unable to fight the positive fight. However, I’m back now and the internet has not let me down. From amazing cancer drugs to african peace deals it’s all been happening.If you’re stuck bemoaning the start of British Sport because of the events in Perth then I highly recommend skipping to the end to see the bag of medals the Great Britain has in Taekwondo, Skeleton, Bobsleigh and Swimming from the weekend. 🙂
