October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This condition is one close to our hearts at Contours. Each year in New Zealand approx 2400 women are diagnosed with Breast Cancer. At this point there is no known cure, our best defense is early detection (regular mammograms). We can however help reduce the risk to ourselves personally by eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and being physically active.
Contours in Palmerston North want to contribute financially to this fantastic cause and also show women that they can empower themselves against Breast Cancer. For the entire month of October Contours in Palmerston North will be running three Group Fitness Classes each week. These classes will be a compilation of the fantastic Radical Fitness Classes we run every-day. At each class there are awesome spot prizes to be won and all participants will go in a draw to win a 12 month membership with us (including a fantastic fitness starter kit).
The FBC classes will be 9.30am Friday morning,5.30 Friday afternoon and 6.30am Tuesday. They will be open to both members and non-members for a gold coin donation to go towards fighting this devastating disease. We will need non-members to register before the class because of limited numbers. We also need contact details to advise the winner of the fabulous 12mnth prize.
This is a great opportunity for us…we look forward to welcoming new people into the gym and most importantly we are committed to doing our bit to raise money and awareness. Let's go hard and optimize the opportunity we have to part of the solution to Breast Cancer!! The largest risk factor for contracting it is just being a Woman!!! That's us...so GO GIRLS!!!....we can make a big difference.
