Hi All,
I am participating in the Yogathon a charity event that takes place on Sat, 30 Oct in London Olympia. The idea is to take the challenge in doing 108 sun salutations in 2 hours! If I am able to raise fund from this event, 100% of the money will then be given as donation to Born Free Foundation, a non-profit organization who prevents animal suffering, protects threatened species and keeps wildlife in the wild. Participating in Yogathon charity event is a wonderful way to contribute to something that I care about through something that I love doing.
Why do I choose animal protection as my cause?
In a diving trip I have had recently, there was a coffee break session in a remote beach and I bumped into a dead body of a shark whose all fins were mutilated. It is not only heartbreaking to witness once a beautiful animal in such a sad condition, but it was also an eye opener that the problem is real.
Born Free Foundation with the help of your donations have program that includes rescue and care of individual animals, wildlife conservation, education and campaign. More about it in this page: http://www.bornfree.org.uk/about-us/

On a personal level, some of you might know that I have just undergone a major surgery 3 months ago and I am still not too sure how far I would be able to keep up with this challenge. Since a month ago when my doctor gave a nod that it is now safe for me to start doing a bit of exercise, i have slowly started to practice some sun salutations in the morning and a little bit more in weekends. I still feel it a bit tough but at the same time I find the practice as a good mean to support my recovery process. Still, I am a bit nervous about Saturday, so wish me luck.....! :)
Thank you so much for your support,
Nadia.
