All my regular readers of Beautiful You will know that I am very passionate about body image and eating disorder issues. They are at the forefront of my world nearly every day, so it’s nice occasionally to think about other causes as well, which I have been priveleged to do throughout October.
I am a cancer survivor and was thrilled to recently meet Sam Lehman, founder of The Warwick Foundation, Australia’s only charitable organisation supporting young Australians aged 18-40 through their cancer journey. I am thrilled to now be a board member for Sam and aim to do a great job in growing, supporting and raising awareness of The Warwick Foundation. I’ll be sure to keep you informed as to how that is going. Sam’s an amazing woman and I am already inspired by her work. October has also been Breast Cancer Awareness Month and my dear friend Leanne and her teenage daughter Amelia invited me to a Pink Ribbon Brunch fundraiser at their home. It was such a wonderful occasion with pink sparkling wine, pink cupcakes, pink flowers and everyone present wearing something pink! Um – I think it’s clear to see that I love pink so was in my element. Perfectly happy to claim myself as an unashamedly feminine feminist.
Three generations of beautiful women, Leanne, her Mum Pauline and their daughter/grandaughter Amelia
Leanne and Amelia were the perfect hosts at their brunch with amazing food, a great raffle and lots of laughs. By simply gathering up their female friends for a fun morning they raised over $800 for breast cancer research. Now that’s what I call community and love in action. Beautiful indeed.
Stand clear please! I’m never one to miss out on a cupcake.
OMG! How adorably good looking are these girls! 
Pink Ribbon Brunchers. Great effort ladies to raise over $800 for a worthy cause.
