And most especially at this time of fear and uncertainty… as we are searching for ways to make us feel stronger and healthier.
I have always believed in fate and the science of happenstance, and how the gods present answers at the hardest times, almost when you have given up, and how the search for a solution of an existing problem can lead to a new beginning.
Dawn's Story
W O R D S B Y D A W N R U S SE L L
When doctors could do no more I went in search of solutions.
This journey took me all over the world, to places I never imagined visiting. I was lucky enough to find solutions and discover the immense value of smart nutrition. Changing my nutrition changed my health, and 8Greens was my way to help people prioritise their nutrition no matter how hectic their lives became. It’s one step on a very important journey. I now give 8Greens to my kids, to my husband (who has tried all 264 prototypes of this product, bless him), and to my friends.
87% of Americans do not get their daily minimum requirement of greens. We can all do better.
With 8Greens, I am simply trying to get this number higher, by educating people about the most important greens and helping add these greens to their diet in an easy, quick, tasty way. 8Greens is not a replacement to a healthy diet, but rather a booster, a green helper. I created 8G because I wanted to make getting greens easy, tasty, and affordable. Not everyone has the time to make a green juice, a smoothie, or make the healthy choice with their nutrition. Like other fizzy drinks, all you have to do is drop it in a glass of water (the colder, the better in my opinion if you care about taste), let it fizz, then drink it.

My friendship with Dawn started as the best ones do, through a mutual friend who promised that we would really get on… dangerous but on this occasion true. She was heavily pregnant with her first child and was stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful – married to a brilliant, handsome english aristocrat… I thought my goodness this has to be the perfect fairytale story. But like all the best tales, the darkness was underneath. In Dawn’s case she had been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer at the age of 25, and when she was no longer able to take the chemo because of a life threatening bone infection, she started looking all over the world at what she could put into her body that might be beneficial. And thus began a 10 year journey in search of integrative medicines and treatment on what are the most important greens for human health. I met her at this time; she asked me to taste a green powder... it was pretty yuck, but over a few years and many tastings she refined it, added more ingredients, and 264 prototypes later it became an effervescent tablet easy to carry, and that can be dropped into water or a Margarita or even prepared in food. The rest is history... an international success story which is based on true life, its challenges, and making a difference. The other really cool part is that they now make 8G gummies for on-the-go well-being, and a skincare effervescent version... and Dawn is still very much in the driving seat of the business; she is also the fastest driver I know! She goes ice-racing in Scandinavia, drives supercars on the West Coast... and looks incredible in our clothes. She carries our city bag all over the world, monogrammed with her family's names and signatures. She understands Connolly and its authentic driving heritage completely... and my personal commitment to the brand!
