We have had some awesome support these past few weeks.

Franca over in Melbourne, Victoria has donated $300 to the cause as her friend, Samantha Chappel, is affected by cancer of the liver. Samantha is on chemo, her third dosage.... she has two kids called Bailey and Mia and with her husband Mark she is being brave and strong.

Bailey and Mia are Franca's god kids, so she loves them dearly and wanted to do anything she could to support.

It's stories like this that inspire us all to act, even when we aren't directly affected. The whole "what if it happened to me" is lost and forgotten because it HAS happened to someone we know. It's all too close to home to ignore.

To continue...

We have wonderful news that a carer is to walk for us. This is GREAT news. Grant Mattiske's wife has only recently gone through breast cancer... and to be honest she can't walk as she isn't strong enough yet!! Charlie (team captain) works with Grant. The day she saw him with a shaved head made her twig that something was going on. A short conversation later and he had her committed to doing what she can to raise awareness. Such caring and devoted people should not have this type of illness affect them. And yet it still does.

What else can we do?

The Puppies want to raise awareness about breast cancer, and illness in general, etc... but also... what is it that we can do to raise awareness with body health?

Do you want to feel me?

Sounds gross, tarty, tacky...? but why? If it was with someone we loved and its ultimate gain was to ensure we stayed healthy - then there's no issue. Right? It would be a socially accepted norm for both partners in a relationship.

So, how do we manage this stigma? It's something the Puppies want to contribute to over time. What and how we are managing our OWN body health and well being.

In the meantime...

One of our Puppies, who admittedly runs her own pilates studio, has donated 6 pilates lessons, valued at $345 for the Lion King raffle. A raffle?? Yep, it's all about raising money. So, we think this is an awesome contribution (just quietly smug here). They are private lessons - including an initial assessment within the six lessons in total....

These raffle tickets are gonna be HOT HOT HOT.
