Ladies First Fitness will be donating one-month membership passes to breast cancer survivors taking part in the walk, as well as anyone who sponsors or donates a minimum of $25 to the Antelope Valley event.
“I believe fitness is the key to happiness, because when you are physically fit, it allows you to feel strong, beautiful and confident,” said Michole McBroom, owner and operator of Ladies First Fitness & Spa. “For women who are going through breast cancer, I think it is key for them to have something to look forward to.”
Funds raised from the walk will help the American Cancer Society provide free information and services for those living with breast cancer in the Antelope Valley.
“As an all-women’s facility, most of us have known someone who has been affected by breast cancer, whether it’s someone we know who has struggled and beat the disease, or someone who has fallen to it,” said Christina Buchanan, manager of Ladies First Fitness & Spa.
“We have all been affected by breast cancer in some way and we feel very strongly in supporting this cause,” Buchanan continued.
Ladies First Fitness & Spa is also donating a gift basket valued at $1,000, which includes a one-year gym membership, childcare, tanning, aqua massage and a gym bag.
Additionally, trainers from the gym will host a 5-10 minute warm-up session just before the walk.
“Regardless as to whether you are a member of a gym or not, you need to do something physical every day,” concluded McBroom.
Ladies First Fitness & Spa is a full-service gym and day spa, located at 42015 10th Street West in Lancaster. For more information, visit www.ladiesfirstrocks.com or contact manager Christina Buchanan at 800-518-1418.
