Keep'n it real

Anyone who has started a new venture of any sorts will understand what a learning curve there is. Laying a solid foundation for the B4B charity is no exception. As much fantastic experience and heartfelt enthusiasm I bring to the table, along with Christoph and our great team, things can take a bit longer than expected. There are days when I get a bit concerned that things are running behind - especially in touching base with all of you, our wonderful family of readers and supporters. Then I ask myself "Behind in what, exactly?" Are we progressing each day? YES. Are were further than we were a month ago or even yesterday? YES. Is our outcome still visible and on target? YES. Are will all learning and growing? YES. Is there a natural season to things? Yes. Then I realise where we are is not just a good thing - but a great thing. A blessing, really, thanks to all the people who support us and believe in our cause. We are profoudly grateful.

We are also profoundly grateful for your patience as we catch up on our blog entries. Once upon a time ago, I could write daily and at present it's not always possible either due to internet access when on the road or other pressing commitments. I do keep a journal so that you are kept up to date on things. There are many exciting things we're working on from press release to progress FUNdraising intitiatives. All will be revealed in time.

I look back to when B4B began just over 6 months ago for my sister Kathleen. Today, we celebrate so much that has been acheived during this time.

• Kathleen finished her chemotherapy and will be heading back to work in a few weeks.
• We reached our 100 day goal of $10,000 for Kathleen and her kids
• We have become a non-for-profit organisation and are in the process to become a charity
• We are taking the requisite time to build a solid foundation of our charity that's going to be around for a very long time, helping countless single mums affected by breast cancer and their kids.
• This story has been covered by media & press all over the world - in USA, Germany, and the UK even BEFORE launching as an official campaign later this month.
• We have a growing team of FUNdraisers in 3 countries
• We have bounced 8 countries and 4 continents to raise awareness.
• Have managed to get corporate sponsorship even before becoming a charity status.
• Have a fantastic company called Public Zone (www.publiczone.co.uk) who are helping us build a powerful fundraising and communication strategy

Keep checking back with us.

Blessings to you xp
