Description

Please join me for a Ladies Night OUT-doors Yoga Class to support the Ellie Fund! Dear Friends, I am thrilled to host a Ladies Night OUT-doors Yoga Class to support an amazing nonprofit organization, the Ellie Fund! My friend Julie Starr, yoga instructor and wellness expert, will teach an outdoor class in Cold Spring Park. New to yoga? Don't worry- Julie's class will be appropriate for all levels. Looking forward to an amazing class, the chance to connect with each other, and enjoy healthy treats... all to support an important cause! I am incredibly excited that I will be running my 8th consecutive Boston Marathon as a member of Team Ellie. The mission of the Ellie Fund, a local non-profit organization, is to provide essential support services, FREE of charge, to individuals with breast cancer, in order to ease the stresses of everyday life, allowing the focus to be on family, recovery, and healing. Services include: providing transportation to medical appointments, nutritional and grocery assistance, childcare reimbursement, nutritious prepared/delivered meals, and integrative therapy services. Funds raised will also support an exciting new initiative- helping underserved patients with breast cancer access cutting-edge clinical trials at MGH! I first learned about the Ellie Fund from the experiences of my own patients who have faced innumerable challenges following a new diagnosis of breast cancer. Last year, one of my dear patients received a diagnosis of breast cancer during her pregnancy. Our social worker referred her to the Ellie Fund, and she received financial support to hire a night nurse. While my patient still needed to face grueling chemotherapy treatments, and care for her newborn, this generous gift from the Ellie Fund enabled her to get a good night's sleep as she underwent her treatment. I am now a proud member of the Board of Directors of the Ellie Fund, and I witness firsthand this organization's dedication and commitment to fundraising and supporting those diagnosed with breast cancer in Massachusetts. Funds raised from Boston 2021 will provide ongoing support for this important mission. By supporting my run with TEAM ELLIE, you have the opportunity to make a remarkable difference in enhancing the lives of individuals who are facing a diagnosis of breast cancer. I hope you can attend the yoga class, and consider making a donation to support my Boston Marathon run!
