Charity Boot Camp To Raise Funds For Breast Cancer Awareness

(Editor's note: The following information was submitted by the ownership of Fitness Revolution.)

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, will host the 2nd Annual Charity Boot Camp to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer awareness foundation.

 According to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer, when caught early, is 98%. If caught late, this rate plummets to 23%.

 The Charity Boot Camp workout will consist of high energy training circuits, with enough variety to meet the fitness needs of any teen or adult, regardless of ability or exercise experience.

 “We encourage everyone to come support this cause and experience our fun, Fitness Revolution workout,” said Kelly Boyle, Director of the facility. 

This particular boot camp serves a cause that will hit home for many families. Fitness Revolution is hoping to unite the people in the Tewksbury and surrounding area towards a common cause and also to reach out to those impacted by breast cancer through a donation founded in love and support.

 “One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer at some point throughout their lives,” added Kelly. “We have an intense desire to support awareness.  As a result of the prevelance of this disease, nearly every family has its own experience with a breast cancer scare within the family.”

 “We understand the seriousness of the disease and hope we can help others who are going through what so many have faced.”

 The Breast Cancer Awareness Boot Camp will be held on Sunday, October 30^th at 11:00 AM at the Andover High School Field House. Each attendee is asked to bring a $10 minimum donation for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. All friends and family are encouraged to attend.  Costumes are strongly encouraged!  In addition, pumkins will be provided and used throughout actual workout. 

 “We are blessed to have so many faithful members who have already expressed excitement for this event, and we hope to inspire the community to jump on board as well!” added Kelly.
