The ‘Mia Effect’
Greenlight Foundation is inspired by our love for our daughter Mia who passed from cancer aged just 2 1/2 years, in April 2013.
She taught us to live each and every day with love and compassion, to appreciate the good in life (no matter the circumstances) and to live authentically with meaning and purpose. We like to call this ‘The Mia Effect’.
We are committed to guiding others to connect with their true self and purposefully navigate their own unique path to meaningful contribute to the world we live in.
In doing so, we hope to cultivate a world with greater love, peacefulness, compassion and joy.
