Happy Birthday Tricia Centre Of Balanz Bowen Therapy. What a generous and heartfelt gift. It has made my day to think that not only has Tricia raised this money but she has increased an awareness of the Tom Bowen Legacy Trust Fund Aust. You are a very special person. 🎂🥂🙏

A really big THANK YOU to my friends. $800.00
For my birthday I asked for a donation instead of receiving gifts. I feel fabulous (& 50!) that there was $800 in the tin alone & I know others were donating direct to the fund. 100% of profits are used to honour Tom Bowens Legacy of working with children with disabilities. Thank you my wonderful friends.
