The Feel to Heal Lap-A-Thon was held on Sunday, 28 April 2019. Feel to Heal was initiated by a friend of the Sharon Faye Foundation (now Institute), Renee Waters, in honour of her son’s inspiring Emotional Strength® response to leukaemia treatment.
Over 150 participants enjoyed games, dancing, a feelings forest, walking, jogging, shoulder rides and Yelo’s famous banana bread. The only thing outshining the beautiful Perth sun was the warmth from those who attended with open hearts on the day. We are still feeling the glow and wish to thank everyone who participated and donated to Feel to Heal. The funds went towards the Foundation’s mandate to build Emotional Strength® throughout society.
The Foundation would like to thank Renee, Lenny and the Waters family for showing us all how to respond with Emotional Strength® in the face of intense emotional experience of a diagnosis like leukaemia. Remember, it is not what happens to us, it is how we respond that makes the difference.
We would like to acknowledge our main sponsors for the event: Best Performance and Yelo Cafe. Also thanks to Sharon’s executive assistant Ash for leading us in an energetic Konga exercise class which was great fun as a warm-up.
