In an extraordinary display of generosity and kindness, Isla recently transformed her birthday celebration into a powerful opportunity to give back. Following her battle with breast cancer, Isla had one goal in mind: to gather her loved ones for a joyful celebration of life. But Isla took it one step further, turning her special day into a fundraiser to support others facing similar challenges.
Her vision became a reality with the unforgettable 'Pink for a Purpose' event, held at the Leopold Sportsman's Club. Over 100 guests joined Isla to celebrate her birthday while raising funds for The Otis Foundation, an organisation that had provided vital support to her and her family during their most difficult times. Thanks to Isla's dedication and the generosity of those in attendance, over $13,000 was raised on the night.
These funds will provide relief for individuals and families navigating the challenges of breast cancer, ensuring they can access much-needed time away in a peaceful and supportive environment.Isla's husband, who witnessed firsthand the hard work and passion she poured into the event, shared his pride in her determination.
"During her lowest point, devoid of energy and facing countless obstacles, Isla kept her focus on this goal. To see her chemo dream become a reality and to witness the outpouring of love and support in the room was truly inspiring."
The success of 'Pink for a Purpose' is a testament to Isla's remarkable strength, her unwavering desire to help others, and the kindness of her community.
From everyone at The Otis Foundation, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Isla for her incredible efforts and to all who contributed to this impactful fundraiser. Your support will make a meaningful difference to so many facing the challenges of breast cancer.
