It’s Official – Charity status, here we come!!!!
Hello friends and family- it’s great to be with you again. I hope this finds you well and smiling.
B4B has GREAT NEWS. We are officially well on our way to becoming a charity. The B4B bank account has been set up and we are currently building our winning team of FUNdraisers, Marketers, Steering Committee and Board of Directors. I am personally responsible with all the paperwork and learning curve in what it takes to set up a charity. Anyone interested in stepping up to be part of the heart of this progressive, FUN, and fulfilling charity, please contact us through our website http://www.bouncingforbreastcancer.org/.
I also have a confession to make. Forgive me for not sharing with you the journey from turning this heartfelt personal campaign for Kathleen into an international non-profit organisation for other single moms affected by breast cancer around the globe. For some reason over the last few weeks, I got it in my head that it wasn’t interesting to you. I thought the ground work was boring to you. Then I realised that perhaps it was me getting bogged down with it all. I needed to find passion in my purpose again, just as I did on 26th February when B4B was born.
The other day, Christoph gave me the [loving] nudge I needed. He reinforced the importance of sharing our experience so people can appreciate just what it takes to set up a charity. All the small [seemlingly] unimportant steps that are required. All the choices I had to personally make in changing my life so that the B4B benefits can continue to improve the quality of life for single mothers affected by breast cancer currently in need of financial and emotional support during their treatment and recovery.
Whilst I have been occupied aligning my life so that I can take on the role as CEO/Director of the charity, it dawned on me that many people have been looking for updates on the blog and there weren’t any. It became evident just how important the blog was to others. It became equally evident just how important it was to me. I apologise for appearing to abandon our readers, B4B family of supporters and individuals who find inspiration from this blog. From now one, our learning curve will be one we share with you – afterall, this life is all about learning, growing and sharing. And most importantly, you are an essential part of our journey. For the reason of why we are here today is because you were with us yesterday…
Honouring the little steps is just as important as the big steps. All the menial tasks are just as important as the huge successes. Every moment – every step - is important, for it leads you to where you are now.
Here's what we've accomplished in July:

Here's what we've accomplished in July:
- I closed down a business in order to become the CEO/Director of B4B charity.
- We set up the B4B bank account.
- We were filmed by ITV who are covering the B4B story.
- My husband and I moved to Adelaide, Australia for 3 months for his business.
- We have secured a part-time Press Officer
- We are working with Public Zone as our marketing specialists
With love and light x
