BirthWorks International will be
hosting its first fundraiser, the BirthWorks International 5K Fun Run at Freedom
Park in Medford, NJ. The walk will be
preceded by a free yoga class and registration.
After the walk, the rest of the day will include fun activities for the
family, a mini pelvic bodywork class, vendors and much more!
The run will take place at Freedom
Park in Medford, NJ on September 8, 2012.
The park is located at 86 Union St. in Medford, New Jersey. The
event will occur between 9am and 3pm.
There will be a free yoga session at 9am, taught by Tricia Heiser of the
Yoga Sanctuary of Medford followed by the 5K Fun Run/Walk at 10am. Cathy Daub, the president and founder of
BirthWorks International, will teach a free pelvic bodywork class for expecting
mothers at 12pm. Furthermore, the event
will hold various children’s races and activities. Prizes will be rewarded to all winners.
BirthWorks International embodies
the philosophy of developing a woman’s self-confidence, trust and faith in her
innate ability to give birth. BirthWorks
seeks working relationships with other childbirth related organizations,
striving together to help birthing families make more informed and safe choices
for birth. It is our mission to train
childbirth educators and doulas that in turn provide evidence-based, current
information to birthing families through a unique experiential approach that is
based on human values. All proceeds from
this event will fund programs that help educate and empower women and families
around the world about safe birth practices and natural birth options.
Being
an international organization, we are aware that many of our friends and
colleagues are unable to attend this event on September 8th; however
that should not discourage anyone from helping us raise the funds necessary to
provide these programs and research to birthing families and enhance their
knowledge and experience during this special and important time in their
lives. Please join us as a virtual
walker. By registering online at www.active.com/running/medford-nj/birthworks-international-5K-run-walk-2012,
you can support BirthWorks and its philosophy by asking for sponsorship and
donations from family, friends or co-workers.
Thank you and good luck!
