"Thank you so much for your help and support, it has been invaluable. I'm not sure I'd be sitting here today without it- you have made me feel seen for the first time in twenty years. It has given me the confidence to step out and be me, and not worry about all the me-mo-ing. It's like water off a duck's back now."
