Help Emily and Ben Beat Cancer!

To our amazing Pure Barre WA community and beyond-

I'm humbly reaching out on behalf of the entire PBWA Team in honor of our beloved Lead Teacher, Emily and her husband Ben. Ben was recently diagnosed with Chordoma and undergoes a major surgery this Friday, which will then inevitably lead them down a long road to recovery, including radiation and the potential for additional surgeries in the future. We are so relieved Ben is receiving such incredible care here in Seattle, but of course, it will be a long uphill battle and an expensive one at that.

If you know Emily, you know she's quickly become the heart of our PBWA team! Emily works tirelessly to train our teaching team and trainees, is the first to jump at any additional opportunities at PBWA, whether it's on the mic or after hours (have you joined our new book club yet?!), and pours her heart and soul into our incredible community! Emily also leads our big Light the Night fundraiser every year in honor of her late brother, Adam. She will be Ben's caregiver throughout his recovery process and we would LOVE to help support them both through this journey.

If you are able to donate, please do and show them both some love! This community is a special one and we know our Pure Barre fam will show up for these wonderful people. We will also have a donation class or two down the road, so keep your eyes peeled for that date (likely in April).

Thank you for reading and for being here! We love this community so much!
