T’ai Chi-athon

For St Jude Children’s Research Hospital

 

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children who have cancer and other catastrophic diseases.  St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world.  No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay.  St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fund-raising organization.  In 1962, when the hospital opened, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood leukemia, was only survived by five percent of their patients: the current rate is now 80%.  For more information, please visit www.stjude.org.

 

Our 4th Annual T’ai Chi-athon was a big success.   We collected just over $2005 for St Jude’s with a last minute donation to get us over the $2000 mark.  We had two guest Instructors this year, Donna Minshew of T’ai Chi Ohana and Theresa Floyd who lead us thru different styles of T’ai Chi.  Everyone had a great time and learned a little bit more about T’ai Chi, and got to share their T’ai Chi.
