Without the support and guidance of cousin Sue Davey, when I started on this journey 9 years ago I would have been stumbling around in the dark still. And subsequently the mentorship through collaboration with expert cousin Norina Dixon enabled me to build on what I had learned from Sue. I am very very, very grateful to them both for opening this door for me.
