TEAM WINSOR PILATES JOINS ALS GOLDEN WEST’s  LA WALK TO DEFEAT ALS

It is again with a heavy but hopeful heart that Team Winsor Pilates joins ALS Golden West's LA Walk to Defeat ALS and walks in memory of Mari Winsor whose passing, due to complications from ALS in April 2020 continues to leave an enormous void in our hearts.

Mari is not only credited with making the practice of Pilates a household name, she also devoted her life and energy to educating the public both nationally and internationally about health and fitness from the inside out.

Once Mari learned of her ALS diagnosis, her passion for helping others continued with a newfound focus as an Ambassador to ALS Golden West championing the need to raise funds for ground-breaking scientific research to find a cure.

Help us continue Mari's fight to DEFEAT ALS by making a gift at TeamWinsorPilates.org

 

We are thankful to Kristi Cooper, cofounder of Pilates Anytime, who co-directed the documentary,

Powerhouse: The Mari Winsor Story which features many of the milestones of Mari’s life and work, along with her family, friends, and colleagues in the Pilates community. The film, which can be watched at no charge, shows how Mari took many difficult circumstances and experiences throughout her life and used them to inspire others to keep moving forward.

Please consider reaching into your pocket to support TEAM WINSOR PILATES with a gift today.

Our team goal is to raise $15,000. Be part of the movement powering the search for effective ALS treatments and cures. No matter how small the gift, every little bit counts and gets us closer to our team goal.

ABOUT ALS AND THE WALK

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease yet it still costs loved ones an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference.

Funds raised during this event allows ALS Golden West to provide invaluable services for those diagnosed with ALS and their families such as support groups, an equipment loan program, access to specialized care, and ground-breaking scientific research to find a cure. All of these services helped Mari as she lived with ALS for 8 years.
