   | "I want to thank Angelique Du Toit and Annique Health & Beauty for sharing my story and giving me the opportunity to help others far beyond my reach. Thank you Angelique for the Nomination. I am humbled, though honored. Thank you to Julie B Steynberg, the Executive Director for Difference Makers SA for allowing me to use this platform to do more and to Change Lives Making a Difference with the platform provided, I cannot wait to start give recognition to those in my network, those who also make a difference in many lives. This is how we Pay the Love forward. Angelique du Toit wrote a book "What in the world are you waiting for?" where she mentioned Dalene Richter's story as one of the bravest, most humble hero's Changing Lives Making a Difference. This is what Angelique wrote:- "Vivacious, attractive, vibrant and full of life. Dalene is a rare breed. Determined, committed and a lover of life. She is a creative, smart leader and businesswoman, with a following that respects her and who are inspired by her enthusiasm and passion for both her Annique Health & Beauty business and for life. Her laughter is contagious and her spontaneous humour will make you smile. Dalene’s story of personal strength and triumph over cancer with God’s help and with a dash of good old common sense, will fill you with hope and sheer inspiration. I have never left without either of these when I have left Dalene’s presence. She would be too humble to tell you, so I will: Dalene, in addition to all of her other awards and achievements, received the Direct Selling Association ‘Personality of the Year Award’ in 2013. This award was especially in acknowledgement of the tireless and selfless effort she makes in helping others cope with their battle with cancer. Dalene is always available, always willing and shares her all in her way of giving to others what she has so gratefully received. Dalene will indeed reap the rewards of her giving. Her best is yet to come…in health, in wealth and in the joys of life. Dalene is living proof to all of us that we can arise, overcome and stand strong even in the midst of the fiercest trials. Whatever you may be facing in your life right now, take a leaf out of Dalene’s story, encourage yourself, surround yourself with angels with ‘skin on’, learn from every experience, keep your heart, eyes and mind on God, trust and be strong in your faith, and be determined to live out all the days of your life in joy, peace and with heartfelt gratitude. Life will surely reward you for that choice. Everything you have read in her story is exactly how she lives her life. She embraces every minute of life, she always radiates joy and she spreads smiles on people’s faces wherever she goes. …Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live as if there is no tomorrow. Always have faith. Dream Big. This is my motto, and I know it is Dalene’s too".
