Pilates for Breast Cancer Research

Shape Magazine and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation are hosting “Pilates for Pink“, a day in which women across the country will be doing pilates to raise money for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Mark September 28th on your calendar, and take a Pilates for Pink class at your local gym or yoga studio (find one here).

If you are planning to be in New York City on Sunday, September 28th, 2008, take a Pilates class at Union Square. It sounds like a win-win situation: you get a free pilates mat, a free bag, and a great workout, all for just a $25 donation to the Foundation.

As an FYI, it is estimated that about 126 out of 100,000 women will get breast cancer each year. According to the National Cancer Institute, 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime.

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month will soon be upon us, any step we can take to increase awareness, support, and funding for a cure for breast cancer is a step in the right direction.
