We can do it. Together.

Maggie stepped on to the stage, shaking and nervous. She looked out at the sea of people who had all gathered there to here her, to listen to her and be inspired by her. This was the most important day of her life and she could not let these people down. After all, she was Maggie Sumner.

"My dear friends" Maggie began, "today we come together to remember and believe that there is hope and there will be a new and beautiful era for those who stand up for what is right."

Maggie smiled to herself, all was going as planned.

" I believe that we are the people who will take humanity through the darkness and help them to find a new and shining light. We are the people of tomorrow. We are already one step ahead of our opposition because our vision encompasses all the ideals we need to continue in the future. We will struggle, dear friends, but we will come out of our struggle stronger and with our heads held high because we never gave up. We never stopped believing.

We will do all that is required of us and we will do it with joy and humility. We will do everything they ask of us and we will do it with all of them laughing in our faces. We will emerge the more powerful side because we didn't stop fighting and in the end we will win.

It is all very well to say this but it's another thing to do it. I know that. I am under no illusions, I know how tough and difficult the world can be, how they will laugh at us and mock us every step of the way, how they will deliberately make our climb harder by throwing all the obstacles they can in our way. Believe me, I know exactly the kind of things that you are up against because I have battled them myself but I have won and I have emerged the better person in all of my struggles.

We are better and stronger than that. We have the answers and we have the resources. But, there is something much more important than winning because of what material possessions we have. And it's this, winning because of who we are and what we believe in. Winning because what we believe is right. Winning because of our values and the way we treat others. Winning because we love everyone. Winning because we get up each day with renewed vigor and willingness to fight for what we know is right. Winning because we are right.Winning because we don't stop trying to win."

Maggie could see the faces she held in rapture before her. She smiled she was in her element. "Watch out, world, Maggie Sumner's coming for you" she thought

Maggie began to speak once more. " De nil mortuis nisi bonum. We have lost many in our struggle and we today remember those who gave their lives valiantly fighting for the good of the cause. In particular, Alexander Sands, Tiara Flynn, Clara Goodwin. We are also privileged to remember the wonderful, and tragically short, lives of the "Flower sisters" Poppy,Lily and Rosie who were found dead in their London home last night aged 14,15 and 16 who gave so much to the cause. We are only sorry that we cannot spend more time with their lively and loving characters. We cannot express in any words our sadness that they are no longer with us and we pray that they have gone on to a better life. One in which they are valued and respected for who they are and what they believe in.
