Today on the 5th Anniversary of Kate’s passing, I had the honor of presenting a check from the Be Great Like Kate Foundation with her best mate, Laura Richards, her cousin Pete Raeburn, her dad John Ryan and her Aunt Carol and Uncle Colin Raeburn, to the Great Ormond St Hospital for Children Cancer Wing in London, England. The check for 10000 lbs is going toward the building of the new cancer center at the hospital.

A thank you to Lauren Harris-Dainty and Amy for the tour of the Hospital and the information they provided regarding the history and future plans for child care at this incredible hospital.

All this could not have been done without the support from all of you that have donated to the Be Great Like Kate Foundation. Thanks to each and every one of you for allowing Kate’s precious memory to live on in the gifts that we have given to so many.

Your generosity is a reflection of what Be Great Like Kate is all about. Live and love everyday.

Kate always in our hearts. ❤️

The Be Great Like Kate Foundation has been very active donating money to individuals going through their journeys with cancer through the several different states and even aiding a family visit from England by taking care of their lodging on St. Pete Beach.

The greatest news that we have received from those we donated to, to assist them with their financial burdens, was a thank you and most of all I am Cancer Free. ❤️❤️

Who would ever have thought through the generosity of so many people that Be Great Like Kate, would reach New York, Ohio, Minnesota, Florida, Michigan and England just to mention a few.

Thank you to all for your support!

To all that are going through this terrible journey, remember that there are so many people with you during this journey. But most of all remember to love and live each and everyday. Never give up and must of all Be Great Like Kate!!❤️
