Phone call tonight with my travel group....so excited!

I just got off the phone with an amazing group of people. I was on a conference call with the group of survivors that I'll be traveling with along with the founder of A Fresh Chapter and her team. We each introduced ourselves and then we talked about the history of South Africa and about it's beauty too. We talked about our volunteer programming, where we will be staying, where we will be volunteering and touched on some stereotypes that we may face. I am off to the library now. I will get so much more out of the trip if I understand the country, it's people and what they have been through. If anyone wants to read along and discus, I'll let you know what books I end up with! I also learned that July 18th is International Mandela Day. I plan to volunteer in some capacity that day for at least 67 minutes for each of Nelson Mandel's 67 years. I hope you can join me in a similar effort!

A Fresh Chapter!

In November 2015, I'll be traveling to South Africa!  I'll be joining 11 other North American cancer survivors on an incredible journey of service in the poorest townships outside of Cape Town.

I'm busy fundraising for the trip now.  I'll update in the coming days with a fundraising plan that is in the works!

Here's a hint: Think PINK!
