Kelsey has an awesome Wishful Wednesday topic today, I was so excited to do this with her:
'I wish' I had never-ending funds to donate to a charity and it would be...
Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund
The Work Continues
Diana has always been my idol for as long as I can remember.
I've admired her for her strong will to go against her role as royalty and use her power for the benefit of others.
She did what she believed was right.
As a humanitarian, she broke down barriers that no other Princess, or member of the Royal Family has done (to this day, her sons remain the only other people to have done so).
She was a huge advocate for the National AIDS Trust and the Leprosy Mission.
She visited the HALO Trust de-mining organization in Angola, walking on grounds that no Princess should have been. She insisted on wearing a face mask and the proper gear that the employees wore on site. She rolled up her sleeves and got to work, showing no worry towards the fear of losing a limb or her life.
She visited Mother Teresa and shortly thereafter, passed away from a tragic car accident.
She will always be remembered for her love of children.
She made everyone feel loved and welcome when she was in their presence.
She wasn't scared to touch or hug someone with AIDS.
She was courageous and brave.
Her legacy still lives on through this foundation which was set up by her brother, Earl Spencer.
