As many of you know, my beautiful mother Nancy Crossan died earlier this year of IPF — idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis— at only 69 years old. For several years she suffered silently and in the final two years found every day tasks difficult, often painful. I miss her immeasurably. But I am grateful for the breath in my own lungs and have committed to engage in a 30 day practice of yoga for breath during the month of September in memory of my mother. I would very much like to raise money to help those living with IPF and other life limiting lung conditions. Please help me to support the work of APF by donating whatever you can and if you fancy joining me for the 30 days of yoga, I’ll be using YouTube’s infamous Adriene as my guide
