I am so proud and so chuffed BCNA online network has reached this amazing milestone. I am proud to be an online Champion, a Community Liaison Officer for BCNA and a facilitator of a Perth Womens group.
I can honestly say I wouldn't have made it this far and stayed as strong as I am without BCNA; BCNA online network; BCNA amazing and incredible staff and especially all my incredible BCNA pink sisters.
I have been apart of BCNA for what should be coming up to two years as my journey continues. I remember being asked by the beautiful Daina to become an online champion and I was so honoured. I didn't really need to do any more than what I was already doing as I was already very eagerly welcoming Newbies as I call them to the website because I remember how touched and I remember crying when I got my first reply to my very first post. I was reaching out desperately for some much needed love and support from people who understood where I was coming from. You are never judged. You can speak out about anything that is on your mind that you need to share. We all come together and protect each other.
I was also like Bella, where I felt very isolated from family and friends in a small community which I had not become a part of at the time of my BC diagnosis and I still to this day have not had an opportunity to become a part of.
I have continued over time to offer a warm welcome where I can to Newbies but also to gladly support my pink sisters through their ongoing journey as they all continue to do so for me as my journey continues.
I am so proud and so honoured to be part of such an amazing organisation and I am so glad I found you.
Thank you BCNA.
Lots of love today, tomorrow and always, Mich xoxoxoxo
