For the past 15 years, Lulu has dreamed of opening her own Pilates studio — a welcoming space where people can feel stronger, healthier, and supported. A few weeks ago, that dream finally became a reality when she opened the doors to her studio. Starting a small business takes courage, faith, and a lot of sacrifice. Like many new business owners, Lulu is pouring everything she has into getting the studio established, which means she isn’t able to pay herself a salary yet.

If you know Lulu, you know she is one of the most generous and kind-hearted people around. She is always the first person to show up for others, offer encouragement, lend a hand, or lift someone up when they need it most. Asking for help is not in her nature. So a few of us wanted to do something for her. This fundraiser is simply a way for friends, clients, and community members to support Lulu during these early months while she builds the business she has worked toward for so many years.

Every contribution — big or small — will help give her some stability and peace of mind as she continues growing the studio and sharing her passion with the community. Thank you for supporting someone who has spent so much of her life supporting others.
