Bright Pink’s Fit Fest is tomorrow! I have been looking forward to this event since I was asked to be host in December and I cannot believe it is finally here!
Starting at 9:45 tomorrow morning, 140 athletes and I will be embarking on a 6 hour day of getting our sweat on with classes like tabata, yoga, dance, pilates, and kickboxing, among others, all led by some of my absolute favorite instructors in the city.
As of right this second, we have raised $68,613 from over 1300 generous donors to benefit Bright Pink‘s cause of providing education and support for young women at high-risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Running into founder Lindsay Avner and community outreach guru Leah Drew today only reinforced once again how much I believe in this cause and believe in these women.
I’ve got my outfits ready to go, I’ve incorporated plenty of pink, my team Pink Lemonade is $36 away from our goal and I’ve just carbo loaded with some delish pizza. Fit Fest 2011 is ON!
