SiT BeneFiT -Group fitness charity

A lot has happened lately. In fact I'm at the point where I feel mostly empty, and I cannot begin to explain how much I'm looking forward to our upcoming vacation (more on that in a few days). A week ago my aunt died in the hospital. She was full of vitality and her spirit was filled with an intention to live. However, the cancer was brutal and eventually she gave in. The funeral was on Friday. The following day I had the pleasure of co-hosting a charity event at our gym. Eight instructors had prepared a 2,25 hours aerobic class; high intensity aerobic, Afro dance and zumba. The participants paid an entrance fee, and all of 1500 dollars was collected. The sum in full will be given to an organization that helps cancer patients exercise by providing/ building small gyms in the hospital area. It is called Active against Cancer,and was founded by Grete Waitz. The benefit meant a whole lot to me personally! Check out some of the instructors below :).
