Dear editor,
I would like to thank everyone who made last weekend's Active Sunrise charity event possible.
Special thanks go to Chloe Thomas at Nicklaus North for securing the space and being such a gracious host, Mark Coates from Innovative Fitness for giving up his only day off and chasing us around the golf course, Devon Sockett from Früv who lead us through a beautiful yoga session in the sunshine, and to Tracey Higgs the star nutritionist from Nesters who taught us new ways to fuel up before and after a workout.
Most of all I want to thank the ladies who took part and came down early on a Sunday morning when their breath still hung in the air to join us in raising money and our heart rates! We raised $400 for the Peaks Foundation, which is a non-profit organization funding women based initiatives in third-world countries.
Both myself and Hannah Mason will be travelling to Peru in 2014 to do the 3 Peaks, 3 Weeks Challenge. We are aiming to raise at least $5,000 each, which will go towards two different charities the Peaks Foundation has chosen to support; The Mountain Institute and GirlSportWorks.
If you'd like to see what else we'll be doing in the build up please Like us on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/3Peaks3Weeks
