Infinity Gymnastics Academy is partnering with Jordyn Wieber to offer young gymnasts the opportunity to meet their gymnastics idol on Saturday, June 13 for a fundraiser to benefit the American Heart Association Go Red for Women and American Cancer Society Breast Cancer Research charities.

Those wishing to vie for the chance to attend a private clinic and lunch with Jordyn Wieber should register at www.infinitygymfunwithjordyn.org.

“I’m thrilled to team up with Infinity Gymnastics Academy to raise both money and awareness for the American Heart Association Go Red for Women and American Cancer Society Breast Cancer Research charities. I can’t wait to meet all the young area gymnasts on June 13,” Wieber said.

“We are very excited for the opportunity to offer this fun filled day with Jordyn which will benefit two great charities,” Coach Julie said.

There are two ways to take part in a private clinic with Jordyn Wieber:

• The top fundraising Gymnastics club will earn a private clinic with Jordyn Wieber on Saturday, June 13 hosted by Infinity Gymnastics Academy in Woodridge, IL. Any member of the top fundraising club raising at least $125 will be eligible to attend the private clinic.

American Heart Association Go Red for Women

There’s a lot of talk about inequality between men and women, but one area in particular where women are leading in record numbers: heart disease. It’s the No. 1 killer of women and is more deadly than all forms of cancer. But there’s a leadership role just waiting for women like you to pounce on: Leading the charge to end this deadly foe once and for all.

In fact, women like Rachel D’Souza-Siebert have already decided they’re not going to take this lying down. “As women,” says Rachel, “we need to learn where to draw the line so we can take care of ourselves.” Rachel isn’t the only one. She’s one of thousands of women who’ve decided to Go Red, because enough is enough.

Cheryl Holmes thought pregnancy was the reason for her extreme sweating and difficulties breathing. Even Cheryl’s doctor was convinced pregnancy was the source of her symptoms. When they didn’t subside after the birth of her child, she discovered these symptoms were a sign of heart disease.

Unfortunately, Cheryl’s story isn’t uncommon. Many women are either unaware of the symptoms to pay attention to or may attribute their symptoms as due to other causes. For instance, that pain in your jaw, neck or back? Don’t assume it‘s just from the gym or a little extra stress. They could be symptoms of a heart attack .

American Cancer Society Breast Cancer Research

The American Cancer Society is helping people with breast cancer today in every community and is working tirelessly to find cures to end the disease tomorrow. Thanks to improvements in treatment and early detection, more and more women are surviving breast cancer.

While progress has clearly been made, breast cancer is still the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the U.S., other than skin cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer death in women. The Society’s research program has played a role in many of the advances that save lives from breast cancer today, and is relentlessly pursuing the answers that will save even more lives in the future.

The Society invests more in breast cancer research than any other cancer type.
