Five Thousand, two hundred and fourteen dollars and ten cents
..is the amount of money I have raised for Ovarian Cancer Research over three years of fundraising through Frocktober.
On behalf of my Grandmother and I, thankyou for the love you have shown by donating; whether it was dresses, money or encouraging words…
Thankyou.
This week, I hung up all the donated frocks I have recieved.
I’d had a stressful day at work and was feeling a tad overwhelmed; so I needed a orderly task to calm my brain.
Seeing all the frocks, I am amazed. How lucky have I been to get so many wonderful dresses from so many wonderful women?!
A spiritual moment….?
As I unpacked each frock, I recognised some of them – friends’ dresses from moments in time that I’d shared with them – and started getting sentimental.
After nearly a week (October 6th) I’d had a grand total of $00.00 donated to my Frocktober fund.

It bothers me less than it did last year. I thought I had failed last year, when I didn’t reach the same target as the previous year (~$2, 600).
It bothers me less because Frocktober has taught me valuable lessons about standards, fundraising, social media and innovation.
Allow me to explain…
