I'll be up North for the next few weeks playing the Lake George Opera Festival  in Saratoga Springs, NY. Performances are July 8 through July 18. Opera fans, please stop by!

And if you are in the Saratoga/Glens Falls area and would like to schedule private training, please email me at julie@Life-Cise.com.

While you're sitting in your doctor's waiting room this month, check out Coping with Cancer Magazine.

"Get Moving", on p.16, offers tips on getting started with exercise during or after cancer treatment, written by me, Julie Goodale.

I'll be taking part in a panel discussion on the healing power of music. The discussion is part of Victoria Bond's Cutting Edge Concert Series. The panel will be followed by a concert at 7:30, featuring music of Victoria Bond and Ivan Moody.

Fifty percent of the proceeds of this concert will go to Young Survival Coalition.

OK, so this has nothing to do with fitness, but it's fun. I've got a concert coming up this week with Lauren Flanigan and other fantastic musicians.

On Sunday, Oct. 19, Life-Cise will be participating in the American Cancer Society - Hudson Valley Region's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.  The event will take place at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, NY.  This walk takes place just a few days after I lead a fitness workshop for breast cancer survivors at the Rockland County American Cancer Society.  So I will be joining many of the women from the workshop in walking to raise funds for breast cancer research, screening, and support.

If you live in the Hudson Valley, I hope you will sign up and join us.  Or you can support my efforts by making a donation using my personal online fundraising page. It's safe and simple. All you have to do is click the link below and follow the few easy steps. Last year, 450,000 Making Strides participants raised $45 million ... and they did it one donation at a time. So, whether you're able to give $5 or $500, every bit truly does help. Hope starts one dollar at a time. Hope starts with me. And hope can start with you.

You can go to http://main.acsevents.org/goto/juliegoodale  to donate.  And thank you.
