Obstacles come up in life and business that will take you down a different path to that which you may have planned – but don’t deviate from your goals. Alternative paths still provide opportunity. Why did you choose to support the Pink Edition? My mum and an aunt are breast cancer survivors and I know a number of other women who have also been affected by it. I just want to provide some encouragement and support and say how fantastic women are at facing up to this challenge when it does happen.
