 So far the Girls on Top experience has been challenging and
empowering. It has been tough asking for my needs to be met from
complete strangers. Continuing to show up and put one foot in front
of the other, with nothing more than hope that it will all turn out!
It began with the task of getting fit despite the cold San Francisco
mornings, and has progressed to being able to juggle many balls in the
air at once to keep not only my own mo ...

By far the most common thing that people say when I meet them at high School reunions, parties or wherever ... and the conversation swings to Girls on Top is something like; "Wow! Pick Me!! I would Loooovveee to come... Wonderful! Fantastic! If only!! And then there is a dialogue which usually opens up that great perplexing question of What We would Do in Life - If Only! Most often men, women and children all say that they admire our work, and all the girls, and that surely this journey is one that we all dream of, and that would be so life-changing and inspiring...
When I speak with our brave and wonderful girls through their journeys of fundraising and preparation - of Getting Real about the fact that they have signed up for this very same Wonderful Adventure .. the most common thing they say along the way is.... "Ouch! It sure does take a lot of guts to do this." And you know what - the things our team learn and share a little on the blog about what it really tak

The Girls on Top team are finally on a countdown! Less than a month to go (only just more than three weeks, in fact) before our team is properly united in Peru, and our expedition begins. Before then we have Chloe, Renee and Lissy in their corners of the world, in the last moments before their fundraising events this week .... good luck girls! Anybody who wants to buy last minute tickets to Girls on Top events in Sydney Melbourne or Berkley USA, can check out the team pages here to see how thay can be part of the fun.
Here at HQ our own event has been lassoing the guy who lassos the donkeys in the Andean wilds of Peru, as well as getting the grapevine to throw a tendril or two across to the Amazon in praparation for our visit there. Sure is incredible, this gadget called the net - but you still can't go passed word of mouth connections when you want to be 1000% sure that you've got nice fat donkeys, nice muscley support crew, and a bug-free bed in the jungle.
