A lady who went from having just £10 left in her purse to becoming a Secret Millionaire on Channel 4’s popular TV series, is to be Guest Speaker at Lewis-Manning Hospice’s Ladies Afternoon Tea event at The Sandbanks Hotel on 11 March to celebrate International Women’s Day.
Sue Stone, who is now an Empowerment and Life Style Coach, Business Mentor and Motivational Speaker, as well as author of ‘Love Life, Live Life’ and DVD ‘Unlock Your Inner Millionaire’, hit absolute rock bottom in 1999 having been left with over a quarter of a million pounds worth of debt following her marriage breakdown and the reality of three young children to bring up alone with no income.
The turning point came when Sue had just £10 left in her purse and no idea where the next penny would come from. Sue set about discovering ways to improve her life and, following her own incredible life transformation, now dedicates her life to helping others. Sue’s clientele span from everyday people to celebrities and city high-fliers and she said, “I’m humbled to be invited to speak at this fantastic Lewis-Manning fund raising afternoon and my goal is to help people create the greatest and most exciting version of themselves and their business.”
International Women’s Day takes place annually on 8 March with thousands of events held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate their achievements and this year its theme is ‘Make a Pledge for Parity’. Lewis-Manning, which provides free care and support to local people with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, will be using the Ladies Afternoon Tea to unveil details of its fourth annual Celebrating Women Lunch, which will also take place at The Sandbanks Hotel be on 11 October as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this year will be calling upon women to Make a Pledge For Parity.
Rachel Lapworth, Director of Development at Lewis-Manning, explained, “I never cease to be amazed by the power of women in our community and this is a chance to celebrate their achievements and encourage other women to be the best they can be, no matter what their circumstances.”
