and extremely motivating for me. Seeing all the happy faces in our events and feeling the support from all the local communities and female kiters around the world has shown me that there really is an objective and a future to KB4Girls.”
She goes on to say: “It was the most amazing feeling this past year to be able to help others through our sport. Through our events we have learned how to channel even more focus on reaching out to others and have added even more goals and targets to our events. Establishing a foundation was the first step for us to take to be able to realize these goals.”
