Fight Cancer Workshop to support the Avon Breast Cancer Walk

May 4, 2010 - PRLog -- SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (May 4th, 2010) – On Saturday May 8th  at 3 – 5pm, NOURISH, a yoga and wellness center located in downtown Santa Cruz, will be hosting a Fight Cancer workshop, instructed by registered dietitian Jocelyn Dubin, in support of the Avon Breast Cancer Walk.

“Incidents of breast cancer are continually on the rise and most patients do not receive proper nutritional support throughout the treatment process,” says Jocelyn. Her workshop, entitled Fight Cancer With Your Fork: The Breast Cancer Edition, will teach participants about all of the ways they can use their forks as their shields to reduce cancer risk and be pro-active about recovery from cancer.

NOURISH was inspired to host the workshop by two of its members who are taking part in the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. With Mother’s Day also happening the next day, Jocelyn thought that it was the perfect time to educate and empower the women of Santa Cruz; “Women in general are not taught how to eat to reduce breast cancer risk and I would like to fill this void.”

The workshop costs $25 with all proceeds going to sponsoring the NOURISH members taking part in the walk. NOURISH would like to encourage all the mom’s, grandma’s, daughters of Santa Cruz, and anyone else interested in supporting the important women in their lives, to come share in this positive and educational workshop.
