Grind Pilates Co X Breast Cancer Network Australia

October is Breast Cancer awareness month and we need your help raising funds to support Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) for the incredible work they do for those diagnosed with breast cancer every year.

A message from Grind Pilates Co Director ~ Denielle.

In 2015, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at 46 yrs old. BCNA made contact with me assuring they were there for support if I needed it. They offered information packs, 24 hours phone call service, family support and so much more. The information they provided was invaluable and very much needed at the time.

The 2023 predicted stats for breast cancer in Australia are (according to BCNA): 217 men and 20,458 women, this means approximately 57 people diagnosed per day - see link - https://www.bcna.org.au/resource-hub/articles/breast-cancer-in-australia/

Did you know research shows that exercise is recommended for Cancer patients?

At Grind Pilates Co, we follow the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) - Cancer exercise guidelines. The guidelines state that exercise is ‘recommended’ for all Cancer survivors and to avoid ‘inactivity’. Exercises can be modified for each person to accommodate their particular situation during a Pilates class by talking to the instructor prior to the class or a private class is available to book. Please feel free to contact us for further information.

Let’s help BCNA help others through their breast cancer journey by donating much needed funds.

Grind Pilates Co are offering you to join us by donating to our Go Fund Me.

- this will give you one free Pilates class on Saturday 26 October (1 day only).

What you need to do:

Before you arrive to class:

• Go to Grind Pilates Co - Go Fund me site LINK

• Make your donation

• Take a screen shot of your donation

• Show proof of your donation to the Pilates instructor prior to your class (we don’t need to see the amount you have donated, only that you have!).

Looking forward to having you in the studio to sweat it out in support for BCNA.

Thank you all in advance for your generosity.
