Hi there!!

Thanks so much for visiting my fundraising page. I'm joing Quiet Quest this year to support The Yoga Foundation and to benefit from some quiet time each day of October. Even though I am a yoga teacher, and meditate regularly, extending my daily quiet time to a full 30 mins will bea challenge!!

I want to draw your attention to a relatively new not for profit foundation with a big vision to improve the health and quality of life of many Australian communities living in hardship. It is called The Yoga Foundation.

The Yoga Foundation already has a number of projects up and running, delivering the benefits of yoga to people living with cerebral palsy, to others living with mental illness, to carers of people with disabilities, to the socially disadvantaged ageing population, and to the La Perouse Aboriginal community.

Funds raised from the 2013 Quiet Quest will go towards the Cerebral Palsy and Mental Illness programmes. To help fund these projects, I’ve committed to the October Quiet Quest, and I am looking for friends and family to support me. In the month of October, my challenge is to spend 30 minutes of Quiet time each day, for 30 days. That means I have to completely unplug: unplug from talking, unplug from electronics, to stop using battery power and fossil fuel power for half an hour everyday. That is, complete silence with no technology fuelled distractions for 30 minutes for 30 days.

The money I raise will pay for yoga-based tools to be taught to Australians living with hardship. The goal for Quiet Quest 2013 is to raise $40,000 which will pay for weekly yoga classes for over 100 people with cerebral palsy or mental illness, for 1 year.
 

Please sponsor me for $1 a day - $30 in total (or more if you wish). You can easily make a secure donation by clicking the 'Dontate' button.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a Tax Invoice receipt via email as soon as you make a donation. 

You can also become a Quiet Quester yourself or invite your friends  www.quietquest.com.au.

Thanks so much for your support and for making a difference in the lives of people living with hardship!
