The Race
During shooting of "The Race," the young actors had fun with the working boxcar derby racers. These cars were a delight for the art department to create. Paired with Alabama's song "Angels Among Us," the spot teaches us that sometimes, caught up in the heat of the moment, we may find the richest rewards in life by just pausing and realizing something important may be happening right in front of us.
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
ANNCR/SUPER: It was the biggest race of the year and no matter what I was going to win. Sometimes things happen that you just cant explain.
MUSIC: Ooohh I believe there are angles among us
ANNCR/SUPER: Some things are more important than winning
MUSIC: Sent down to us from somewhere up above. They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
ANNCR/SUPER: I dont remember who won the race that day
MUSIC: To show us how to live
ANNCR/SUPER: But Ill never forget how I felt
MUSIC: To teach us how to give. To guide us with the light of love.
ANNCR/SUPER: Including others
Pass it on. A message from the Foundation for a Better Life.
Including Others. Pass It On!
Pass It On®

I have a son that is now 20 with special needs. He is non ambulatory and though a very healthy young adult, he requires us to take care of all his basic needs, but gives back so very much more. So loving and just a joy to be around. My son has truly made me a better person. I'm so touched by this ad and I post it occasionally to remind myself and others of the goodness that is still out there or could be.

I think that boy that was helping the one in the wheel chair helped him in the car beacause he wanted to give him a chance to be in the game not just watch the game. He probably felt bad for the boy. He could not walh or run. but he could race in a car.

40 years ago I remember a snowball fight with friends. An opponent, my brother, had what I saw as fear in his eyes as we pummeled them. I was overwhelmed and called an end. My brother wondered why. As a kid I could not convey my emotion. I did not know the word then - it was compassion,

That just made me tear up! Seeing the boy going and picking up the other boy in the wheel chair and letting him race in his place. This is what life is all about helping those less fortunate then we are! There just isn't enough people in the world like that boy!

This kind of commercials have a strong impact on the community (believe or not!) It hits your conscience and make you believe in humanity in moments when you just feel trapped by trivial life and superficiality. this one in particular gives an amazing message! sometimes we forget that everyone is part of this world not just us in out little independent mini worlds.

I couldn't stop crying. I have a young boy in a wheel chair and it pangs me to see him sitting on the sidelines knowing he wants to run and jump with the rest of the kids. We are fortunate to have many people help us take part in some events that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Watching this commercial really hit home. It is a real life event. Thank you so much for airing it.

This commercial reminds me of my 5 year old daughter. As a new lady came to our church, I was in a rush getting from point A to point B, but my daughter would not let me continue. She saw an older lady in a wheel chair and went up to her and started talking to her. In turn, I stopped and talked as well. Little did I know that was her first time to the church and little did I know how much that meant to her, that a little girl wasn't afraid of her disabilities and didn't see a wheel chair, she just saw a person. Since then my 5 year old and her have been good friends. Age does not matter when 2 people just connect, and neither does ones capability.

How absolutely beautiful - don't get tears often but this one did it. My faith lies in the inherent goodness in all of us to be compassionate and giving - thank you so much for these spots and this foundation!

Saw this in a movie theater next to my 9 year old son, who was sitting in his wheelchair, we smiled and I kissed him on the head.

A gentle reminder to continue to reach out to those in need. I suppose this one touched my heart strings more than the others, as I do believe there is so much good still left in all of us. Thank you from my heart to yours for the gentle tug.

What a fantastic way to show both kids and adults that we don't have to be like everybody else. We can make a difference by acting differently. Paulo J. (Brazil)
