Charity Workout on December 17th!
While I was at the dog park with my friend Jean Lee I met a woman named Nina Seigelstein and her dog Otis. Nina is an Obstetrician/Gynecologist and she also happens to be the doctor who delivered Jean’s children by way of cesarean section. She explained that if Jean Lee had lived in Sierra Leone, Africa, she would not have been able to have had a cesarean section as there is a complete lack of obstetrical care. Both Jean and her daughter would very well have died. I think of my son Thomas who was born with so many birth defects and how blessed we are to live in this country. He wouldn’t have survived in Sierra Leone Africa. I feel very honored to have met Nina and OutdoorFit is happy to support her foundation.
Nina is working to prevent these sorts of needless deaths from childbirth by building a Maternity Ward in Sierra Leone. She has started a foundation called One World Women’s Health which is committed to improving women’s health care in Sierra Leone. In January 2012, she is once again traveling there with a medical team to perform gyn surgery and to educate the Sierra Leonean community about the importance of utilizing the Maternity Ward in order to save women’s and children’s lives. Nina needs all the help she can get to make her hopes a reality and we at OutdoorFit would like to contribute.
We are holding a Charity workout on Saturday, December 17th at Fair Haven Fields @ 9AM. The Fair Haven Department of Recreation is donating the use of the Fields free of charge and Christa and I are donating our time to instruct. The normal drop in rate of $20 will apply and ALL proceeds will go toward the cause of One World Women’s Health. Come Saturday and we will have a great workout as always and your money will go to a great cause helping women.
