Hi guys,
I understand the concept of fundraising for trip costs is a tricky one to wrap your head around. We have found people look at this aspect very personally and there are a mix of people who do and don't fundraise for cost.
I personally believe that for our BCNA members, this is more than a holiday. This is about connecting with other women with a shared experience, about giving back, about raising awareness and also about committing together to a healthy and active lifestyle beyond breast cancer. These trips ultimately only improve health out comes into the future for participants, which is something we believe is very important to promote. With that in mind I don't see fundraising for trip costs, or even partial trip costs is something to feel negatively about. You are funding an amazing experience, yes, but these trips are for the mutual benefit of the participants and BCNA and we really encourage any woman who wants to set themselves a fitness goal or the next life challenge to get involved.
But again it is very personal and I understand the hesitation, it's complex.
Happy to discuss further if you want to chat about it. Give me a buzz on 03 9805 2556.
Cheers
Celeste
