This podcast had me loving my name from the get go!   Emily Soutter lost her beautiful sister Katie to Cystic Fibrosis 12 months ago and in that time has created a charity ball for 500 attendees whilst working full time. www.facebook.com/emsoutter Emily shares her sisters story, a vivacious person with a zest for life who made an impact in the lives of everyone she met.   Katie was born with Cystic fibrosis yet didn’t let it define her. She underwent 2 double lung transplants and passed away whilst waiting for her third at 32 years young! Katie was also a personal trainer who understood the importance of staying healthy and empowered others to do the same.   Emily and I keep Katie’s legacy alive by sharing the amazing work Emily has done in creating a ball in her sisters honour, with only one committee member, herself! We share how the first charity drive was selling boxes of chocolate and how the leap to a ball filled with music, silent auctions and music was initially daunting but exhilarating at the same time.   One of my companies, Buckle Bandage is a proud sponsor with all proceeds going to St Vincent’s Lung & Transplant Clinic, where Katie was the recipient of her lung transplants.   We are excited to share the evening with Emily and the story with our listeners! What a night the 25th march 2022 will be! This is a must listen for anyone thinking of creating a charity event to help raise awareness of a cause they are passionate about.   Join our Facebook group here: (www.facebook.com/groups/461822665123720)chat to Emily or other likeminded community members who are Switching their Sitch, starting a small business or growing an Empire.
