Girls Night In update

Our Girls Night In on Friday night was very successful. Margaret and I played host to 12 wonderful women who came for a night of fun, food and a few wines.

The evening took on a special note when one of our guests, Fayleen, spoke of her breast cancer journey - she was diagnosed after a routine mammogram. After surgery she had to travel from Toowoomba to Brisbane every day for her radiation therapy - a journey that took two hours by bus.

This amazing and courageous woman spoke openly and honestly of her feelings, hopes and fears. She left us with a very positive message - regular check ups, education, and live in the 'now'. After her recovery, Fayleen took leave from work and treated herself to a backpacking holiday around Australia. What a woman! :-)

Here are some pics of our night.
