The Starfish Story
For more than 20 years, the story of the starfish has served as the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine’s unofficial motto. It’s about making a difference one step at a time, whether that’s teaching students, treating patients, advancing research, or the work of our alumni, donors and friends. This was a record year for our faculty, both in terms of total funds raised and total donors. And just like in the starfish story, every contribution makes a difference.
While walking down the beach, a man saw someone in the distance lean down and pick something up before throwing it in the ocean. As he came closer, he saw thousands of starfish the tide had thrown onto the beach. Unable to return to the ocean during low tide, the starfish were dying. The man observed a young boy picking up the starfish, one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. After watching the seemingly futile effort, the observer said: “There must be thousands of starfish on this beach. It would be impossible for you to save all of them. There are simply too many. You can't possibly save enough to make a difference.” The young boy smiled as he picked up another starfish and tossed it back into the ocean. “It made a difference to that one,” he replied. — Story adapted from The Starfish Thrower by Loren Eiseley
