I am new here and I wanted to thank you for all you are doing for those of us who are fighting so hard to pull our lives back together after such a devastating disease.
I will gladly help in any way I can. I have been asked to do a celebrity bartender event here to raise money for my favorite charity... perhaps we could work together?
i'm here too! let me know if you plan on doing stuff out here :)
Thanks for your help with CNN nomination.
Yoga Bear's mission is the mission I have been on since recovering from cancer and becoming a yoga teacher for other survivors: to bring the option and healing of yoga to cancer survivors. As a YB volunteer,
I am blogging weekly about early cancer , from diagnosis to early recovery. I've supported their Yogapoolza SF venture with Yoga for Cancer Survivor CD's. When a question comes up about yoga and cancer, Halle will ask me to give my opinion. I am also working with Catherine Gordon in SD to develop a program for yoga in two hospitals in SD.
I contribute meditations for cancer survivors to the site. Say hello to new members....and get the word out:)
Blessings,
Jean
