Petra was barrelling through life with a jet-set but high pressure job travelling all over Europe, until her encounter with cancer made her re-think everything.

It was a life-changing experience which led her to reflect about what really matters. Today she is following her real passion in life and helping others that go through the same experience.   Mimosa Matters is an association of people from all over Europe, who have all chosen to base themselves on the French Riviera and who want to give back to the local community which has embraced them.
