Pilates on Fifth Happy to Lend a Helping Hand to Chemo Mums Charity Event

Feb. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Pilates on Fifth Happy to Lend a Helping Hand to
Chemo Mums Charity Event

Provided Overseas Support to Bolton, England-based Event

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 21, 2011 – Pilates on Fifth is proud to have lent a hand to all the Pilates instructors and other trainers who participated in the Chemo Mums charity fitness event in Bolton, England on February 5, 2011.

Founded in 2007 by cancer survivor and mother of 3, Leslie Bennison, Chemo Mums is a regional support network for mothers who have been diagnosed with cancer. Volunteers “assist with the daily routines of family life while the mother is undergoing chemotherapy” because, as their site puts it, “in many cases, mum is the 'glue' holding the family together.”

The event, held at Virgin Fitness, was said to have raised at least £4,000 ($6,400) for the area volunteer organization. Donations were collected via registration for the 30 classes running throughout the day, including Pilates classes with instructor Marion Rubins of Whitefield Pilates & Personal Training. This year’s larger showing even brought in some local celebrities including former Bolton soccer manager “Big” Sam Allardyce.

The running joke between the Pilates instructors was that they looked like twins. Immediately, the idea dawned on us (Pilates on Fifth’s very own twins) to step in and outfit the Bolton Pilates instructors with official Pilates on Fifth ‘twinware.’ [good place to insert link to photo of them wearing PO5 shirts?] We also decided to give out free downloads from their extensive workout library at http://www.UltimatePilatesWorkouts.com to all interested participants in the day’s Pilates classes.

We were thrilled to be involved in any way with these wonderful Pilates instructors, as well as the charity event in general. We look forward to forging a closer relationship with the organization and hopefully contributing on a more personal level in the years to come!


Sincerely,

Katherine and Kimberly Corp
