There aren’t a lot of positive things to say about Alzheimer’s. However one of the things that truly can make the difference is coming together to support each other and remove the stigma. Come together as a community, as a yoga kula, to help support the people around us. To help raise money for our local Hilo Alzheimer’s support group, walk with us. All the proceeds we raise will stay here in our community, to help support others. We will have Balancing Monkey shirts for sale prior to the walk. All the proceeds from these shirts sales will go to the Hilo Alzheimer’s chapter. Sign up to walk with us at the studio or online.
