Party in Pink a Success!

Tuesday night's Party in Pink was a huge success thanks to the hard work of Tanya Ryan at Tanya Gets You Fit! 80 people heated up the South Hadley Town Hall and rocked it out to benefit breast cancer research! $560 in donations, three great instructors, what a great event! I was honored to be a part of it. Watch for more collaborations between Tanya and I coming soon!

I hope everyone is enjoying this divine weather! It is pure heaven.
