This weekend was a whirlwind of events. On Saturday, PR Fitness celebrated its grand opening by holding an event in honor of Livestrong Day. On Sunday, we then volunteered as course marshals for the Big House Big Heart race in Ann Arbor.
Saturday's opening was a big success. PR Fitness held classes all day for free, had a great nutrition seminar by Lisa Nocera and a yoga class by Dharma Akman. Friends, family, and people in the community all came to support us and to support Livestrong. We ended up raising over one hundred dollars for the Livestrong Foundation, met many new people, and had a great time coming together for a wonderful cause.
We got up early again Sunday to course marshal for BHBH. A big thanks to our friends and fellow runners who volunteered to course marshal! You guys are awesome! After winning the race last year, it was a different experience watching all of the runners and walkers in the 10K and 5K. Every single person participating in this race was not only doing something positive for their own health but also supporting various causes. I felt honored to be able to cheer everyone on and be a part of this race.
Giving back to the community is something that feels good but that also helps you connect with others and create a positive impact on your environment and those that surround you. It reminds you that what's important is being positive, helping others, and creating an environment of support and encouragement which brings out the best in people and in the community.
