A 3rd Cancer, A goal of 10k, 6 months of fundraising, Two communities 4 hours apart, A stubborn 16-year-old, 4 newspaper articles, A team of 35 girls, 1 charity, 18 months of the unknown, 700 people watching, A 12k result, 9 years on and now 1 podcast episode talking alllll about the love out of the lemon, and the lemons out of the love.
On March 14th 2015 in front of a crowd of 700+, I shaved my hair for The Cancer Society, in which we had been fundraising toward our goal of 10k for the past 6 months. During which Dad was fighting his third cancer.
This episode isn't just for those who were around at the time or are fascinated by where the first Love out of Lemon began for me. But also for anyone wanting to give fundraising a go. In honour of it, I sat down with Dad, to discuss how we raised 2k over our goal, why we were fundraising to begin with, what we learnt from it and what we would do differently now, and ofc the love out of the lemons, and the lemons out of the love.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this episode, and please reach out if you are inspired to do something similar, we are more than happy to help, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed filming it.
