Kathy for the Cure
October 30th was the annual 'Kathy for the Cure' fundraiser hosted by Kathy Kerrigan, a local fitness expert and breast cancer survivor. The day consisted of nine hours of a variety of fitness classes in Pilates, Zumba, Belly-dancing, Yoga, TRX and more hosted at the Oyster River High School in Durham, NH. I had a wonderful time participating in a couple classes for the cure. All proceeds went to the Beyond the Rainbow Foundation which provides support and financial assistance to Exeter Hospital cancer survivors. Last year her event rose over $6,000 and Kathy hopes to surpass this as the donations continue to come in. For more information or to make a donation visit beyondtherainbow.org.
