Giving Back Because We Must

If you don't know by now, Second Wind® is usually raising money for one thing or another because, as the owner of Second Wind®, I feel that gathering a few dollars towards a local cause is the least we can do to support our community besides huffing and puffing ourselves into fitness and perfect alignment! Giving back is also a very direct way of reminding ourselves how much we already have and how little we really need. Although most don't believe it, Less-Is-More! Sometimes monies raised are small, sometimes large. Sometimes participation is passionate, sometimes distracted. Whatever the case may be, with each annual fundraising Danielle and her clients and staff get recharged, keeping our charity initiatives of the studio alive.
