The CHANGEMAKERS issue, Feb / Mar 2020, Vol 5, No 1, 47 pages
This issue is a nod to the woman who got breast cancer and then decided to stay and work to create a better environment for those diagnosed after her. Maybe that’s you, maybe you’re hard at work creating a resource for our community, or maybe you have some ideas but haven’t put them into motion yet. Let this issue of WILDFIRE be your inspiration.
Or, perhaps you don’t see yourself as a trailblazer per se. Or you worry you don’t have big enough ideas or large enough resources. Again, let this issue be your inspiration. Change need not be huge. Yes, we have within this issue some women doing massive work for our community, but don’t let that daunt you. We need all different shades of changemakers in our community. No one service or person can do it all.
