Yoga Aid 2009 - my story

I enrolled into this year's yoga show and was pleased to see that the MS society is being supported, I was disappointed to not be able to open a a fundraising page on the link - the MS society was the only one of the four charities not to have a link. There is now a direct link from my story to the below just giving website.

In the meantime I have set up a just giving page http://www.justgiving.com/karenellen1/ using a photo of me at last year's yoga show, and a video clip when Clive helped me realised my dream with Simon Lowe's support.

I'm looking forward to reading my messages of support that come with donations to the MS society on www.justgiving.com/karenellen1



The below has been sent to all interested in the Yoga-aid-challenge....

YogaAid has become an extra special feature at the Yoga Show which takes place at London’s Olympia Oct 30, 31 and Nov 1.

It aims to raise money for a range of charities, including the Prison Phoenix Trust, The Special Yoga Centre, MS Society and Yoga Africa Project. Last year’s event saw 150 yoga fans raise £20,000 completing 108 Sun Salutations during the three hour session and included Karen Ellen, an MS sufferer who has found the benefits of practising yoga and yoga breathing one of the best remedies for her symptoms, even enabling her to complete the London Marathon despite her illness!

Event organiser Keith Coomber says: “This year we’re hoping 300 people will attend YogaAid with the view to doubling the amount of money raised, too. It’s a fantastic event and spectacle we’re proud to have originated at the Yoga Show”.

Yoga Aid takes place on Saturday 31st October at 12 noon. For full details and to register, please visit http://www.theyogashow.co.uk/yoga-aid-challenge/
