    Kia ora Maggie and everyone who has donated on this page.

    We made it!

    I am humbled, grateful and proud.

    The behind the scenes work is done, I have the tickets and am working with my hosts in Madrid to tweak final arrangements.

    The issues that we will be addressing in Madrid are many and complex.

    We as a community, and many of our allies face a multiplicity of challenges - threats and simple ‘airtime/visibility’.. I think for many of us its about holding space and working all the time to connect dots, hold to that big vision of pushing back on hate and fear - dealing with injustice and working to make planet earth a safe and inspiring place for all of us.

    Thank you again.

    Will continue to update in the weeks ahead.

    I wanted to say something deeply personal - I have been so moved, so humbled bu your collective generosity. When Maggie and I set up this page $7000-00 was what was needed I NEVER imagined getting any where near that amount. Over the last month some of you will have seen the hate filled, trauma inducing ignorant misinformation that has been posted on line - and other places. I am not going to even comment other than to see those of us who live with these innate variations and other attributes that bring the attention of the haters - know this place :-( its why we need to push back to share a narrative thats joy filled one that gives light and accurate colour to who we really are - creative - adaptive - resilient contributors to planet earth - thank you again! :-) Y ou have made a dream a living thing!!
