<p>My best friend, Karen Michael, lost the battle fighting this horrible disease in December of 2005 at the age of 31. In honor of her memory and in hope that the answer will come soon enough for others who are facing this battle, I am asking for your help  .</p>
<p>An event is held every year called, <strong>&#8220;Making Strides against Breast Cancer&#8221;</strong> and is being held in the Metro Orlando Area this year on <strong>Saturday, October 18th</strong>. I have personally attended this event for 4 years and this will be our 3rd year without Karen waiting for us at the finish line. This cause is very special to me, as well as her family and friends who will participate. I have started a team under the name of <strong>&#8220;Karen&#8217;s Angels on Earth&#8221;</strong>. You will find information about this event through the link listed below. Please feel free to join the team and walk by my side in memory of Karen or someone you know who has been affected by this disease.  If you won’t be able to attend, and can donate even $5.00, that’s $5.00 that will go towards research to end this disease. All donations are tax deductible and you can donate online.   <span id="more-145"></span></p>
<p>Thanks to each and every one of you who has supported this cause through the years with Karen’s family and friends.  It is my sincere hope that this disease never touches you or anyone you love.  It’s our responsibility to make sure that it never has the chance.  Please see the link below to get started.</p>
<p>Thanks again, <br />
Denise Sturm</p>
<h2>Here are directions to join a team or donate to the cause:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="http://makingstrides.acsevents.org/site/TR/MakingStridesAgainstBreastCancer/MSABCFY09Florida?pg=entry&#038;fr_id=11649" title="The American Cancer Society" target="new">makingstrides.acsevents.org</a></li>
<li>Click on Join a team (if they want to walk) or donate if they only want to donate to the event.</li>
<li>The team name is <strong>&#8220;Karen’s Angels on Earth&#8221;</strong></li>
<li>Follow the steps from there…</li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you in advance for you support and help with a disease that has touched all of us.</p>

Don’t dread getting into your suit this summer.  Now is the perfect time to add something different to your exercise routine.  Most of our clients come to us to find something new or they simply lack motivation.  If this is how you feel, it is time to be accountable.<span id="more-4"></span></p>
<p>There are so many motivating options to make you committed to an exercise program.  Of course, hiring a trainer is great because it is all about a work out designed just for you and taking your fitness goals to the next level.  If this is out of your budget, the next best option is small group training.  Once you reserve a spot in a small group class, you now become committed.  Not only do you still get personal attention, because the group is small, you also have a team to encourage you.</p>
<p><strong>The Studio now has a variety of group options for the summer.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We offer <strong>Pilates equipment classes on the Reformer</strong> for an intense total body workout.</li>
<li>The <strong>MVe Pilates Chair class</strong> is very challenging and will absolutely get your heart pumping.</li>
<li> Our <strong>Pilates mat classes</strong> are the best in the area along with our <strong>Circuit Training classes</strong> combine weight training and cardiovascular exercise for a hard-core <em>Boot Camp workout</em>!  The format changes often and this class will definitely get you in the best shape ever!</li>
</ul>
<p>Add something new to your life by changing your routine to be a fitter you! Let us help you take yourself to the next level.  Our instructors have an abundance of experience, passion and enthusiasm for what they do.</p>
<p>Call us today to sign up for a class, 407-532-6600 or you can also see our <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studioid=3247&amp;stype=-7">schedule online</a>.</p>
