SUMMARY:Meditation Class for Survivors and Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live VIRTUAL meditation class! Alison Crowley\, certified yoga therapist and founder of Bolster & Bridge Yoga Therapy\, will lead us through guided meditation to relax and focus the mind. \nStart off your month with a greater sense of relaxation\, presence\, and focus through the healing practice of meditation. Many doctors and health professionals now recommend various types of meditation. Meditation helps to bring the central nervous system into “the relaxation response\,” which can help to ease pain\, calm our nerves\, and soothe sleep issues. Meditation can also help us with concentration and memory. In short\, a regular meditation practice can ease our stress\, while calming and focusing the mind. We will explore different types of meditation\, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)\, Loving-Kindness\, Vipassana (Insight)\, and many others. We will have practice time\, as well as discussion/question time to fully explore and integrate the practices into our minds\, hearts\, and bodies. \nPlease click the Zoom link below when it is time for class to start. \nMeditation Class Zoom Link\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/95986854408?pwd=T2tFV3FRZkNmL0RmR011ajVDRGlCZz09 \nMeeting ID: 959 8685 4408\nPasscode: 229144 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abpYL5WeFe

SUMMARY:2022 A Breath of Hope Lung Run/Walk SW Florida
DESCRIPTION:2022 EVENT PHOTOS      5K RACE RESULTS\nA Breath of Hope is excited to return to Florida to host the 5th Annual A Breath of Hope Lung Run/SW Florida! You won’t want to miss this sunny 5k run/walk as we raise lung cancer awareness and funds for drastically underfunded lung cancer research. Proceeds support programs for lung cancer patients in SW Florida\, as well as the U.S. transnational research awards funded by A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation. \nJoin us at Estero Community Park in Estero\, Florida on Saturday\, February 26\, 2022 from 8-11 a.m. Enjoy the 5K run or walk with collectible t-shirts\, prizes\, snacks\, patient resources\, updates from a leading oncologist\, a special ceremony to honor and remember your loved ones\, and fellowship with a community that understands. \nEVENT SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION\nEmail info@abreathofhope.org with any questions.\nNEW IN 2022 \nA Breath of Hope is bringing its Patient Support Services program to SW Florida in early 2022. Stay tuned to learn more about this important support program for people living with lung cancer. \nThank you to our 2022 Silver Sponsors:\n\n       Tim & Susan Hatfield\n\n  \nThank you to our 2022 Bronze Sponsors:\n          Mary Jane Benjamin & Dave Arnold \n  \nThe $500 Club:\n\nDot Woods        Janet & Steve Thompson        Jim Christensen        Richard & Mary Brothers       Matt & Rachel Berhow      Elizabeth Kerschner\n\n  \n\nEvent History\nIn 2007\, the A Breath of Hope Lung Run/Walk was held for the first time in Minneapolis by a group of lung cancer patients\, their family members and their nurse. They recognized the need for lung cancer awareness and patient support. We are honored to expand to the SW Florida area and bring this annual Twin Cities event! \nA Breath of Hope Lung Foundation was established in 2008. A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation’s mission is to raise lung cancer awareness\, provide patient and family support and fund innovative lung cancer research. While lung cancer takes more lives than breast\, colon and prostate cancers combined\, it remains underfunded and out of sight. Sadly\, we have stigmatized a disease that affects 1 in 14 Americans – smokers\, nonsmokers\, men\, women\, young and old. A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation believes every life is worth fighting for.
