This time next week I will be recovering from successfully completing yoga-aid-athon 108 Sun Salutations. I have a conflict- who do I feel like I want to support? - Both The Multiple Sclerosis Society and the SYC both have significance importance in my life. I was left with a difficult dilemma.
I found my spiritual home when I discovered the Special Yoga Centre prior to last year’s yoga show – Helps with Spiritual and my physical Body. It gives me a great sense of people when I enter the front doors. I was pleased to be able to volunteer my time to them, I really wanted this wonderful place to flourish and thrive and continue with its great work. I could never have imagined how important this place was to me. It has become my spiritual home. I inspired the designer of a course to help yoga teachers train to help people with MS.
Also I am proud to be included in the family of the Croydon’s branch of the MS society, since I was diagnosis’s 1998 – Help with my mind and my body. They have helped keep me sane, well relatively sane; they inspired me to begin my charity work that diversified to help so many other charities in my role of charitable coordinator for the Yorkshire Building Society.
I have set up a just giving page for both of my favourite charities and left the choice open to my supporters.
