This is my online friend Tahne with her gorgeous little girl.
I have ‘known’ Tahne for a few years now. She is a gorgeous, passionate, intelligent woman who loves her family, her chooks, her garden. She makes her own jewellery, is vegetarian, and she is funny. She has the best dreads ever, of which I am incredibly jealous! She is about to undergo IVF to conceive her second child, a process that has been on hold for a really long time due to persistent illness and various odd symptoms.
Tahne was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
In order to support Tahne and raise funds for MS, her husband Ashley is riding the Brissie to the Bay bike ride. So far, Ashley is vying for the position of top fundraiser for the bike ride, and whoever earns the most funds wins a family trip to an eco resort. I think Tahne deserves this holiday after a year of sickness and ill health. A holiday like this will help her and her beautiful little family to clear the air and bring in some positive energy before starting the IVF rollercoaster once again.
Please donate something, anything, to help this gorgeous woman and her loving husband. Even a few dollars will help them to have this well deserved break. I have admired the way they have coped with this change in their lives, and am inspired by the strength and commitment exhibited by them both.

I’ve noticed that you have a lot of people leave comments on your blog, but as soon as you send out a plea to help another by giving a DONATION in the form of the dirty $$$ that suddenly eveybody and their comments disappear. Well, I won’t be donating to Tahne (or should I say MS) as I have my chosen causes that I donate to. BUT I most certainly wish Tahne and her family the best of luck and I’ll also enrol my little people in the MS Read-athon.
What do I say to this comment Shereen, if feel like someone is trying to insult me!!! Me and mine also have our chosen causes but didn’t know I needed to make a point of telling all who reads your blog.
On a side note- Tahnes hubby did the ride on the weekend and so far has raised over $6,000!! Awesome effort x
I didnt realise I had to announce to the world I donated to Tahnes cause.
Maybe I should have called Today Tonight and had them interview me so that it was public knowledge that I donated.
Whatever…..
I often sit in amazement at the emotion a comment can evoke. I was in no way making a personal attack on Shereen or Tahne, just a MERE observation. Nor is this an apology to anyone who was offended. But I still wish all the best for Tahne and her family.
