Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
Down Dog Yoga is proud to be an official sponsor of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Washington, DC, May 1-2. We are In It To End It…
The DC Avon Walk spans two days and 39 miles. Over these two days, walkers will be helping the lives of thousands affected by breast cancer. United with one purpose and one goal…to end this deadly disease.
Monies raised will provide breast cancer screening, support and treatment needed, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. And, to help leading edge research teams, nationwide, in their quest for a cure.
The DC walk takes place in the heart of our nation’s capital and through the surrounding neighborhoods. The walk covers 26 miles on Saturday, May 1 and 13 miles on Sunday, May 2.
The Down Dog Community is dedicated to supporting all who are involved in the Avon Walk. We will walk with you on your journey to wholeness and wellness by providing a holistic approach to personal healing through the power of yoga. Your personal transformation will be our greatest reward.
Down Dog teachers and staff will work together as a team during the month of April to support the Avon Walk. In addition to being an official sponsor, here are some of the other things the Down Dog Community will offer workshops for walkers, fundraising classing and will host a cheering section along the walk route on Saturday, May 1.
