Thank you Bikram Yoga Wellington

Thank you Bikram Yoga Wellington!

The beautiful people at Bikram Yoga Wellington raised money for Sierra completely unbeknown to us.

They raised somewhere between $550 and $600 NZ which takes the overall Bikram community money raised to approximately $5000!

 

We are so grateful. The timing is perfect as we are working very hard to get good post operative respite care for Sierra for the next few months.

 

We love and thank you. Karen, Shane and Sierra. xx

 

Home Care

Thank You Michael and Susan!

Bikram Yoga Fitzroy kicks off the post operation donations with $1182 raised from December Mat Hire Money.

Sierra finally came home on Friday from three weeks in hospital. Three days turned into a three week saga. She is recovering slowly from two operations and her hips being set in an almost 180 degree angle brace. 

Thank you to EVERYONE who has been in contact and especially to the many of you who have stopped into the hospital to bring food, company or just give us a break.

 

Love to all.



Hospital After Care

Hello... We have known for some time that Sierra would eventually need hip surgery and have looked at many ways we could avoid this. Well... the day has come and she had surgery on Monday. The after care will be very challenging as she will be in casts from her hip to her ankles with a wooden bar holding her legs at 90 degrees for three weeks followed by many weeks where travel from my work will have Shane left to care for Sierra without support. Bikram Yoga Fitzroy has been raising money in December by donating their Mat Hire money. The amount will soon be annouced. We are welcoming any additional funds that we can use for hospital after care. Thank you.

Christmas Morning Class

Hello all,

See below 80 people in 65 person space doing it large for Sierra on Christmas morning! $3000 raised!! Thank you Bikram Yoga South Melbourne and Glen Waverley for your generosity.

Yoga Marathon December 6th

Bikram Yoga Fitzroy has offered to run another fundraiser for Sierra Rose!

Sierra requires medicine and contact lenses from Europe to continue to stay seizure free and continue to develop an ability to read and communicate through eye pointing and symbols. This costs approximately $3000 each time, and I travel with Sierra to England twice a year to collect these and see physios etc. That means I additionally have to find money for the flights, accomodation and general travel costs.

The yoga marathon is to raise $3000 for the next batch of medicine and lenses.

Below is a copy of Bikram Yoga Fitzroy's newsletter:

"Our event this year will be a one-day yoga marathon, on Thursday December 6th.  There are 6 classes held on that day and students and teachers are being asked to seek sponsorship from their friends and families for each class they complete.  Some people even intend to practice in all 6 classes!"

"Any support, large or small, will help us with this fundraising event.  You may participate yourself in the classes and get people to sponsor you or you can sign up as a sponsor for one of our students or teachers."

"Information will be posted in the studio and on our website later this month."

Any contribution will make a difference and Shane, Sierra and I thank you in advance for any contributions made.
