Hi Everyone, This is more a letter than a blog post, and I have been battling whether to share it or not. However, sometimes life is just tougher than we ever expected, and when we keep our burdens and troubles to ourselves, we only increase our stress levels and worsen our circumstances.

In this podcast episode, I tell the full story of why we have needed to fund raise. I discuss the overall experience of stepping outside of our comfort zone and the varying reactions of others. Plus, the meaning behind a simple phrase, told to me by a dear old lady when I was sweet 16, that connects this entire new journey.
