A new SBBU baby in 2024, I made it in at the last moment, needing the essence of the dragonfly myself, and discovering my own purpose. Now, in 2025 I join forces with SBBU, as I dedicate this 24 hour to Cyd Nikola, who needs that essence now, more than myself. A close friend and the true warrior as she stands brave against cancer. Be your own butterfly, transform and stand strong my friend, as you rise above this.
