Pilates for Breast Cancer

By Alyssa Newman

I'm now a Pink Hero

Did you know that every day, 58 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer, and 9 Australians lose their lives to this disease? 


In early October, I decided to dedicate four weeks of my Reformer Pilates instructing to raising awareness and supporting breast cancer research, without asking anyone to spend their own money. 

Here’s how it worked: 

For the past four weeks, every time someone attended one of my Reformer Pilates classes, I donated $5 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (out of my own pocket). Women across all my studios were encouraged to move not only for themselves, but also for others, creating a sense of shared purpose and community. 


Now, it’s time to open up donations to everyone! 


If you want to make a change, support women in need, and help save lives, please consider donating. Even $5 makes a difference. 


The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) funds world-class research with the goal of achieving Zero Deaths from breast cancer. 


Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to that goal. 

So far, we’ve raised $835, and we’re aiming for $1,000. 

Together, we can help stop deaths from breast cancer. 


A special thank you to Redline Fitness, Esencia Pilates & Wellness, Fernwood Kirrawee, Fernwood Miranda, and all the incredible women who helped make this donation possible.
