Hi All,

Thank you so very much for taking the time to check out this page! When I learned about the opportunity to fund-raise for the CNIB through yoga, I knew this was something I needed to do.

I became involved with the CNIB a little over 2 years ago. I volunteer on a regular basis as a vision mate. I have been with the same CNIB client for the entire time and she has been an amazing inspiration. Health and welling being are a huge importance in both of our lives. I have truly enjoyed sharing many conversations about health and fitness, and she has helped me stay motivated with my own personal goals.

In Sept. of 2008 I was introduced to Bikrams Yoga ( by another amazing woman ;). I didn't love it at first but I knew it would have great benefits for my entire well being. If you're not familiar with Bikram Yoga, it's a 90 minute Hatha yoga class done in a hot room. If you are ever interested in Bikram Yoga I would be delighted to try and answer any questions, or even better, go with you to class one time :)

Here's the details of my "Great Canadian Yoga Stretch":

The Great Canadian Yoga Stretch combines my love of yoga and my passion for volunteering. My personal yoga goal is to attend yoga 30 times between May 1 and May 30th. My CNIB fund-raising goal is $1100. This amount is the number of hours I have volunteered with my CNIB client (approx. 220) x $5 per hour.

To achieve this goal I am asking for the help of all my friends and family. Any amount you can donate helps toward this goal and is greatly appreciated.

CNIB has declared the month of May as Vision Health Month. As stated on their website, "Every year 43,800 Canadians lose their vision. Despite the fact that 75 per cent of vision loss is preventable, eye health is not top of mind among Canadians". Let's join together and do something great in support of Vision Health Month.

Thanks again for your support.

With Love,

~Kate
