This year, resolve to help women & girls

January 2013

Greetings!

Happy New Year!

This time of year, many of us make ambitious resolutions with notoriously mixed results!

How about a resolution that's not only fun, but also helps women and girls across Canada?

Simply join KindCycle (it's free!) and resolve to make five random acts of kindness before the end of January.

JOIN THE KINDNESS REVOLUTION

"A simple kind act is guaranteed to make someone's day - now it can also change a woman's life."

Chatelaine editor Jane Fransico talks about why she joined the Kind Cycle campaign.

Buy a stranger a cup of coffee. Give a friend a compliment. Let the other driver go first. Random acts of kindness are easy to do and make us feel happier!

Now, thanks to the Lise Watier Foundation, they can also help women and girls across Canada.

When you sign up at KindCycle.ca, the Lise Watier Foundation will donate $100 in your name to the Canadian Women's Foundation. You could also win $250 in Lise Watier beauty products!

You can also join the conversation by tagging your kindness photos on Facebook and Twitter with #kindcycle

I am looking forward to 2013, where we will all work together to change the future for Canada's women and girls.

Sincerely,

Beverley Wybrow
