Halli Graham’s Post

Last weekend, I had the privilege of attending a charity high tea event hosted by Be Uplifted, a volunteer-run charity whose motto "people, not research" truly embodies the spirit of inclusion. As we continue to celebrate International Women's Day 2024 under the theme #inspireinclusion, I couldn't help but reflect on the beautiful intersection of empowerment and support that I witnessed.   Be Uplifted focuses on providing practical support to incredible women who have been impacted by breast cancer. Through shared stories, laughter, and a sense of community, it became evident that inclusion goes beyond mere words – it's a powerful force that transforms lives. To quote one of the incredible women who spoke of the charity’s impact, they aim to “heal people’s spirit”.   Breast cancer doesn't discriminate, and events like the one hosted by Be Uplifted reaffirm the strength that develops when women come together to uplift one another and listen without judgement. In the face of adversity, there is a shared resilience that breaks down barriers and fosters an environment of inclusivity. As we celebrate the achievements, resilience, and potential of women on this International Women's Day, let's carry this spirit of inclusion forward. Consider supporting organisations like Be Uplifted, which tirelessly work to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer, focusing on protecting the humanity of people and embracing the uniqueness of their journey.   Let's be the driving force that ensures no woman faces her battles alone. Together, we inspire inclusion, and together, we make a lasting impact. #breastcancerawareness #beuplifted #internationalwomensday #iwd2024
