Friends for life xx

Shelb was so lucky to have such brilliant friends . Isaack and Shelb chose so wisely . Their circle was big but the links were unbreakable .

Looking forward to Friday night at Gyc – A night for Shelb and Isaack . If you haven’t been tagged but would like to attend let me know and I will forward you the details xx

Busy month to come

The weekend is the beginning of a very busy month for me and my family .

Firstly with have the memorial service for Donate Life . This is a celebration of life for the families or Donors and those who received the gift of life . I am privileged to speak at this event .

Sunday we celebrate Isaack and Shelbis life . It was his birthday yesterday

The following Friday their friends have arranged a movie night . They will screen Little Shop of Horrors the last show Shelb was part.

We will mention Donate Life at each event . The beauty of donating life is it doesn’t matter how much you have in your bank account . It isn’t a financial donation they seek .

See the world

I’m working pretty closely with Donate Life at the moment . Pretty excited about a few upcoming events .

I was chatting with one of their members yesterday and they shared a story with me .

I won’t name events or clarify gender as privacy is important to some of the Donor Community but the message was just too powerful to not share .

It happened at a recent event . The elderly person wandered around the Donate Display chatting . They stayed longer than most and eventually opened up . They had recently received a gift that had helped restore their eyesight .

This allowed them to continue with one of their favourite rituals. Reading to their grandchildren.

A busy month ahead

As some of you will know I had breast cancer in 2016 – received the news a week before our first wedding anniversary.

Investigations were early and the lump was removed but further investigation revealed I have the Braca gene and a Mastectomy is the best way to head off a repeat occurrence .

So on the 16 June I will have this procedure .

Before this I am attending the Memorial Service for Donate Life . I will speak for Shelbi and Isaack and I will be wearing my very own Donate Life polo .

On the 2nd June Isaacks friends have arranged a gathering – it’s Isaacks birthday on the 28th of May xx

The rest of the month I will be planning and communicating with families /workplaces who have been in touch in regards to supporting Donate Life week (end of July )

I’ve been told it’s unusual for family’s who donate to want to be so involved . For me it’s the natural thing to do .

SHELBI would say “be someone who makes everyone feel like some ” Doing what I do is therapeutic and I feel is making a small but positive impact on registration and donations .

I’m also sure it’s making two young souls who were taken way too soon smile xx

It’s all about awareness

If you “enjoy” my posts and want to help me keep Shelbis memory alive there is a really easy way you can help .

Ask your work places . Children’s schools , sporting groups if they will support donate life week .

Donate life week is the last week of July first week of August . If you can assist send me a private message and I will put you in touch with the organisation.

I ask that you come through me because I would love to be able to track Shelbs and Isaacks success .
