Memorial Donations for Lenny, 2016

Donation protected
Thank you for visiting this page! As many of you know, my older brother, Lenny, died in March of 2013 after complications from brain aneurysm surgery. Lenny was a vibrant person, always ready to chase after his four kids, get new tattoo, or enthusiastically chat about Cleveland sports. Losing him has left an aching absence in the lives of his family and friends.

Lenny would have turned 41 this year. On April 3, 2016, I'll teach a donation-based, all-are-welcome-yoga class in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, with proceeds to the Lenny Diederich Memorial Fund (benefitting his four children) and to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, as a birthday offering to Lenny.

Please contact for time and location details if you can make it! My intention is to teach a class that sparks and sustains a loving, intentional energy, leaving us resonating with a sense of community, and contributing to a meaningful cause (while playing some Metallica). This will be the third annual class for Lenny, and the communal, healing energy the last two years were nearly palpable!

For friends who cannot make it: I am honored and humbled that long-distance friends - from Illinois to England - have asked me to set up a donation page. If you are a few cities, states, or time zones away, your donation is welcome and deeply appreciated.

All donations - in-person or online - will be donated as one lump sum for Lenny's birthday gift.

Thank you, again, for taking the time to visit.

With gratitude,
Kelly
