The Amazing Butterfly - Tess Blackburn

Last night Chloe and I had the privilege of attending a fund raiser at Doyle's - Mordialloc for community-based organisation The Butterfly Foundation. This was organised to support Chloe's friend Tess Blackburn and other sufferers in the fight against Anorexia. Tess as guest speaker, shared a small part of her long story to an enraptured audience. She spoke competently while walking us through the hell that these sufferers and their supporters go through each day.

Following this we were entertained by a 'Wil-E' fashion parade featuring this seasons fabulous new ranges, ate nibbles supplied by Doyle's, battled for a silent auction win, stood in line for Henna hand painting and generally had a great night. We hope that Tess and her mother Larraine raised heaps for a worthy cause and thank them both for sharing the word. This night was especially important for Chloe and I. Jump into the links here and also research The Butterfly Foundations great work.
