~ Natalie Lasek, Melbourne, Australia

In March of 2006 I was preparing for a presentation for a leadership program I was involved in through university. After stumbling upon the Whispers of Hope website, and being truly motivated and inspired by Karen's achievements, I contacted Karen requesting to include her journey in our presentation. Karen was more than happy to assist me. It only took her two days to respond to my first email! Karen was more than willing to help in any way she could and even though we have never met, Karen addressed her writings to me as though we had been friends for years.

I am writing this testimonial for Karen to thank her for the time she took to prepare and send to me an amazing and very inspirational recount of some of the tribulations and personal triumphs she has experienced in her life.

Thank you, Karen, for taking the time and courage to help on such a personal issue and for being so generous and open.

Karen, you are an amazing person. Not only is your story an inspiration to all those who are fortunate enough to have it shared with them, but your generosity, courage and determination are qualities that we can all hope to learn from. Your willingness to help all of those in need, with no benefit to yourself, is truly an example of your benevolent nature. Not only have many people learnt from your actions and thoughts, but also those touched by your words will certainly pass on your message with the emotion and passion that you have shared with us. Thank you for you kindness and determination to make a change in the world, one person at a time.

Thank you again, and I wish you all the best and success for the future.
