Hi my name is Meera. My team Pink Power and AIM High Studio is uniting with Living Beyond Breast Cancer to support people diagnosed with breast cancer at our own special yoga event on May 21st 9:00 AM at Aim High Studio (3015 W Germantown Pike, Norristown, PA).
LBBC is very important to me and has been a part of my life since I was 6 years old. Every year, my family and I have tried to take part in the now retired event Yoga on the Steps. It will be twelve years since I first practiced on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, with my Mom and thousands of others. Last year AIM High and my team successfully hosted a similar event and we have decided to do it again to spread awareness about breast cancer.
I have personal stories of loved ones who battled cancer in my life. My grandmother, on my Dad’s side, had lymphoma and passed away young. My other grandmother, on my Mom’s side, is a breast cancer survivor. This cause is really important to me personally and I wanted to show that by raising funds to support breast cancer patients and survivors.
Pink Power was created in an effort to spread awareness amongst people my age. Teens can be impacted by this deadly disease in their adult life and my team would help recognize that. The team at AIM High has kindly offered the use of their facilities for our event this year. Together, we would like as many people as possible to join us, since it is a free class. We do suggest donating a minimum of 20 dollars if possible. If this is not possible, you can also show your support by contributing to the team whatever you can.
Through the power of yoga, we can reach out and raise funds to ensure that anyone diagnosed with breast cancer has access to trusted information and a community of support. No one should face breast cancer alone. Everyone should have reliable information to make the best decisions for themselves.
I look forward to our event together!
