Stretch for the Cure

During the month of October, we’re bombarded by pink.  At first it was a small, inocuous pink ribbon.  Somewhere along the way, it took over.  We have pink cooking utensils, pink clothes, pink shoes, pink tools, pink books, pink pens, pink planters, pink Vespas (OK, this one is kind of cool), even pink for your pet!  Even the NFL is getting into the pink action with their pink cleats and gloves.

The awareness of and support for breast cancer is tremendous.  But before you buy that package of pink M&Ms at the store, consider taking a Pilates class.  Join us for the 3rd annual Stretch for the Cure classes, and you’ll be doing something good for your body and supporting breast cancer education.  All proceeds from these classes will be donated to two fantastic organizations:

• Be Bright Pink is a national organization whose mission is to “enlighten and empower high risk individuals to take control of their breast and ovarian health by providing education, support and a sense of community for a better, brighter future.”
  
• The High Risk Breast Program of Vermont is a clinical program with a focus intended to promote early detection and prevention of breast cancer through screening, treatment, education and research.

Stretch for the Cure classes will be held at the North End Studio (294 N. Winooski Ave, Burlington), and are a suggested donation of $15.  Classes are Thursdays – October 22 and 29, at 7:15 pm.

We are also proud to be a presenter at the Vermont Breast Cancer Conference on October 24.   We will be leading a class in the morning, and talking about how Pilates can help you take control of your body.

For more information about these, or any, of our classes, please contact us via email or call us at 802-598-2469.
