Brooke Taylor Featured on the Standlee’s Beyond the Barn Podcast, Raising $4,000 for Rural Gone Urban Foundation

In October 2023, Brooke Taylor, the founder of the Rural Gone Urban Foundation, was featured on the Beyond the Barn podcast, sharing her inspiring journey through agriculture and her battle with triple-negative breast cancer. This powerful episode resonated with listeners and played a crucial role in raising $4,000 for the foundation’s Love Bombs program, which supports women facing significant health challenges.

Throughout the podcast, Brooke discussed the difficulties of balancing motherhood and a cancer diagnosis while emphasizing the importance of advocacy and resilience. The episode, which encouraged listeners to download and share, contributed to a fundraising initiative by Standlee, which pledged to donate $1 for every episode downloaded during the month of October.

The partnership between Standlee and the Rural Gone Urban Foundation not only elevated Brooke's story but also showcased the dedication of a rural, ag-based company to empower brave women in the community. As Brooke stated, “It’s not lost on me that some businesses want to share stories for the sake of awareness while also increasing their bottom line because pink sells in October. This is not that. They’re sharing, elevating, and donating to support the Love Bombs program, which directly impacts brave and strong women in the ring with cancer.”

Thanks to the generous support of Standlee and the engaged listeners of the Beyond the Barn podcast, the Rural Gone Urban Foundation continues to make a significant impact in the lives of women in need. The success of this initiative underscores the importance of community support in the fight against breast cancer and highlights the foundation's commitment to empowering women and families facing difficult circumstances.
