BE UPLIFTED

The BIG C word one that every one dreads, but sadly many have to deal with  this word on a daily basis , and as we know october is Pink ribbon month to raise money and awareness for breast cancer ...Our darling DT member Annette Gearside is an active member of an amazing organisation to help women with breast cancer ...and she has gone PINK this month for this awesome cause and i am here today to share with you her layout and card that we have saved till last to showcase .
Plus a little blurb about what Annette does within her charity . Doesnt Annette look amazing with PINK hair ...its a YES from me today :)


Be Uplifted Inc. is a registered Breast Cancer Charity founded by Barbara Zimmerlie and Wendy Paterson in 2009. Both Barb and Wendy are breast cancer survivors and their friend Annette Gearside helped with the founding of the charity. BUi. offers Support, Help & Understanding through Faith, Hope and Love to women and their families affected by breast cancer.
They hold many fundraisers throughout the year eg. cent auctions, afternoon teas, high teas, Melbourne Cup luncheons, sausage sizzles & in December they deliver Christmas hampers to oncology departments of two hospitals. 
 It was decided for the month of OCTOBER, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the team at BUi would be GLOWING PINK .. ..They are having pink swooshes, tips, flashes or streaks in their hair & one of them is going all PINK (that's Annette)..
who wants to sponsor them in this hair-brained scheme .?????....
All monies raised is used to assist women & their families who are on their breast cancer journey to cover some of their out of pocket expenses ....
They are a small charity with a big dream
you can follow them on FB
