24.01.2022 A long time between posts, my sincerest apologies. KMF hopes you all had a wonderful Christmas, cherishing moments for the memory, we also wish everyone a better 2021. Moving into the New Year, we continue our dedication to the well-being of our Mid North Youth. 2020 saw some challenges, especially with RFABS being postponed, albeit, this is full steam ahead. KMF were also very proud for the opportunity to assist with funding to support the CHS with their amazing Youth Oppor...tunity Course. We look forward to many more collaborations with CHS in 2021 and beyond. I have received extremely positive feedback from families who's children gained so much from this course. This warms my heart immensely, and gives us such pride in our endeavours. To you all, the small businesses, individuals, sporting clubs who continue support us and remember why this Foundation was created, it is a legacy to an extraordinary human who touched our lives. I thankyou, KMF thankyou. I also thank the amazing people who are behind KMF, their passion and drive is truly appreciated. There is a website in the making, so watch this space. xxxx much love Meg See more
