Supporting A Friend…

Today is all about my friend and fellow-blogger, Karen Cheng.

She is simply amazing… i went to uni with her and already thought she was pretty great at that time… we graduated and i left my beloved Perth to come home to Singapore (not a bad thing, but at that time, i would have given almost anything to have stayed in Perth – that, however, is another story).

So we lost touch and then i found her blog through a friend. i started following it and it just completely floors me how wonderful she is and how she really does take life head on and lives it to the fullest. She writes about her passion for fashion as well as about her bustling life with a loving husband and 3 cute boys.

She is now doing a most awesome thing – she is going to do a 200km bike ride to raise money for cancer research! Now she is only a recreational bike rider at best, to begin with, so 200km over 2 days is a huge thing. (Bike riding just has no appeal to me – sigh. So i am in awe that she is doing this.) She has been training lots, getting up at 5am or 6am in the mornings to get in some training before her full day starts with 3 very active boys to take care of.

i have been a terrible friend in that i have told myself i would support her and help her promote this cause when she first announced it back at the beginning of May. But i got busy and forgot.

Then at the end of June she sent another little note to say that her birthday wish (her birthday was just a few days ago) was to reach her goal of raising AUS$10,000 for cancer research and appealed to us to help her with that birthday wish.

Now i am going to do my very tiny part and i’m asking if you would do your part too. Please visit her fundraising page to read her story. Or read this post on her blog to find out more about this. Do donate to this very very deserving cause.

Thank you very much for every little bit you give towards this worthy cause.
