LUPUS FOUNDATION OF AMERICA, ILLINOIS CHAPTER

Bikram Chicago,  Illinois

Joe Garrido's Bikram Yoga Challenge for Charity Pledge Page

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

On May 4th. 2009 I did my very first Bikram Yoga class. I was hooked instantly & I started doing "Doubles"! In my first 30 days I had completed 63 classes. 

My friend, Brooke is suffering from Lupus. I spent a lot of time visiting her in the hospital when she had a Stroke and almost died in 2007. She is only 25 yrs. old! Her courage, strength and faith has changed my life. I knew then that I had to do something to help. What am I here for? Not for me! I am here to help and to inspire others to help and be strong like Brooke has done for me.    

I completed 700 Bikram Yoga classes in 365 Days. May 4th. 2009-May 3rd. 2010

Please help me in reaching my goal. $1 is just as appreciated as $100 anything will help.   

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Thank You,

                 Joe Garrido
