Mom With Love Project has been created to help raise money and awareness to find a cure for Breast Cancer.
Mom With Love gives story tellers like you, the opportunity to share with the community how amazing your Mother is or was, and the difference she has made in peoples lives.
By sharing beautiful, inspirational, loving stories, we can create a collection of stories that will raise a lot of money for Breast Cancer Research.
This project is dedicated to the next generation of women that are yet to be diagnosed with this awful disease… and to my Mum.
This is a Project for YOU and the whole online community.
————————————————————————————–
As a family, we are the grateful recipients of previous breast cancer research and todays current technology.
But we have to find a cure for the women out there that do not know that they will contract this awful disease in the distant and not-so-distant future.
One in Eleven women in their life time will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
And we need to create more awareness for People similar to what I was like. People who do not actively pay attention to the Breast Cancer volunteers and organisations that raised money to fund research, until I was directly affected.
Unfortunately, it took breast cancer to strike before I took some action and start making a difference.
So now this is my opportunity to give back to a community that provided the skills and research to help our family get back on track when we needed them most.
That is why this project is called Mum With Love.

Tips for stories
- Tell the story from your heart
- Be 100% honest; don’t hold back!
- Rather than telling your whole life story, focus on a particular time when your Mum made a difference in your life.
- Include some dialogue, if possible peak about how that situation made you feel.
- End it with how or what a difference your mothers love has made to you, and the effect she has had on your life.
- SHOW rather than TELL. For example, rather than writing: ‘my childhood was fun’, be descriptive and write ‘from the time is was six years old, my mother used to say I was the brightest smile of the lot!’
- Remember to keep your stories to around 1,000 words or less.
- Sign Off with your name, country and age (optional)
