If it’s your mom, daughter, friend, grandma or anyone else we all have someone in our lives that have inspired us and Schick Hydro wants to hear your stories. They approached me, as they wanted to hear from you guys, my readers about who inspires you and why. I hope you can sound off in the comment section below (provide a picture if you can, or a link to one) and all the stories will be going live on May 22nd in an online exhibition.

The gallery will enable women to post inspiring stories about themselves or others, share the stories on their social networks, celebrate acts of endearing or amazing and encourage others to do the same. By uploading pictures to corresponding stories, participants will not only be setting an example of the positive change people can make in the world, they will also be helping all women: for every image or story uploaded, $1.00 will be donated to a Women’s Mental Health program. Consumers will also be entered into a contest to win an unforgettable getaway to Costa Rica.

Be sure to check out their Facebook (HydroSilkCanada) and Twitter (@HydroSilkCA) page so you can be one of the first people to see all the stories that people like you will be submitting,

My story is about my mom. My parents got divorced when I was little, and I spent a lot of time with my mom and she basically  raised my brother and I herself. She helped me through many things in life like school, even when I decided to leave home for the first time at 20 and go live across the world in Australia and then leave again shortly after I came back to go to S.Korea. She also helped with breakups, getting my first car and much more. She’s always there to help and guide me even when I don’t want any help lol! But that’s what makes an amazing mother and I’m lucky to have her.

    My partner and I both made career changes three years ago and I think we have both come a long way, and our resilience inspires each other.

      I love that! It can be hard making a career change – but it’s all worth it in the end.

    My mom inspires me, more than I realized. My dad recently passed away and although this news has been devastating to all of us, my mom has become our pillar of strength. She lost her best friend, her soul mate, her roommate yet she has put us before herself. As a daddy’s girl, this loss has had an incredible affect on me, yet my mom has baked me cookies and served it with milk every week when I go and visit her. She is my strength and inspiration.

    my best friend inspires me. she had a stroke last year but that didn’t’ stop her from living her life. instead she took it as a sign to change things and has started thinking about life in a different way. she did not let it get her down, instead she used it as a catalyst for change.

    My mom inspires me. She is so caring and compassionate. She is always thinking about others ahead of herself and will go without if it means someone else can have what they need. My mom is a role model for me and has shown me what a strong, confident woman looks like. I aspire to be just like her!

    My father inspires me. He has had a rough road with his health the past 10 years, surviving double bypass surgery to find out he had kidney cancer and coming out a survivor from that as well. Never negative (at least in front of us kids!) and always has the same sarcastic comment and smirk.

    My mom is the epitome of strength. Her father died when she was young and she had to take care of her family and help raise her siblings. When they immigrated to Canada, no one else in family knew English so she had the extra burden of translating everything. She took two jobs to put herself through college so that she could become a teacher. Her students love her and she is an inspiration for them as well.

    My parents inspire me. They worked hard all their lives to raise a big family. They also cared for their own families, helping them. They grew up in the Great Depression era, and many people today do not realize just how lucky we are to not have to live through those hard times of poverty and starvation.
