Fitness for Charity

No, I would love to however. I am going to look into this. I strongly believe in helping others who are unfortunate to afford and receive the help, knowledge and information as opposed to the ones who have the money and do not give the effort.

While not a “class,” I just recently donated training services to the Navy Spouses for their non-profit efforts. Very rewarding, much appreciated by those I helped, and helps me remember the importance of “giving back!”

I have over the years donated to various causes, either personal sessions or group lectures. The most rewarding moments are the one’s where you actually make a difference, or the times when people thank you personally because they so enjoyed the experience. Many times freebies go unnoticed.

I am currently training with Team In Training to run a marathon in San Francisco. As part of my fundraising, I created a special summer series bootcamp. I say special because it is only 3 sessions, knowing how crazy the summer is especially for me. I had 6 people at the first session. Not a great number , but they were all excited and worked hard. The second session is this Thursday and I’m hoping more people show up. Doing this for Team In Training has been very encouraging and has inspired me to really get out there and talk about training. Also while doing this and asking strangers and friends to get involved, I’ve realized just how apathetic people have become. They really don’t want to break out of their current lifestyles and comfort zones. That makes our job that much more important, and rewarding when someone actually decides they want to make a change.

Yes, I trained a team of 8 people from a charity organization in Chicago 2 years ago. The organization was “Jimmy Insulin” which is for Diabetes awareness and they were training for a half and a full marathon. They all did great and finished both events.
