    When joining Brio Group (then Red-I Design) I was encouraged to write my 101 Dreams and I have been crossing them off ever since (and enjoying every last one of them). But in the time it has taken me to write this blog someone in Australia has been given the news they have blood cancer.…

    Brio Group was recently invited to attend the launch of Loud Shirt Day at the Hear and Say Centre. After sponsoring hearing impaired, Rhylee, we’ve been actively involved in the centre’s events.

      That’s right! The kids at Brio Group are going to attempt to run (yes run) the Bridge to Brisbane next Sunday. It’s going to be tough – my body is really only equipped to exercise in short bursts (lasting no longer than a hornpipe – sometimes not even that long) and as we’re glued…
