There are all kinds of ways to celebrate a birthday – but this way is pretty special.
Charnwood mum Elizabeth Kikkert is turning 35 next Friday and planning to celebrate by performing 35 random acts of kindness.
She did the same thing privately last year for her 34th birthday – 34 random acts of kindness, from giving her local garbage collector a can of soft drink to offering flowers to a stranger to handing out crayons and colouring-in books to children at the local hospital emergency department.
"It was just so much fun getting out of your comfort zone," she said.
