Fundraising Pop-up Pilates at Pickering Farm Shop and Café

 

A Pickering Pilates instructor is helping a local farmer raise funds for Macmillan by hosting two outdoor Pop-up Pilates sessions.

 

Wendy Harding, who teaches Pilates in Pickering and Thornton Le Dale, will host two Pop-up Pilates events at Cedarbarn Farm Shop on Thornton Road on May 12th and June 9thto raise money for Karl Avison's Ride of Their Lives appeal.

 

"I love an outdoor class, and always look forward to our Cedarbarn classes in the summer.

Together as a community, we've raised money for St Catherine's Hospice, Prostate Cancer UK & Macmillan," said Mrs Harding.

 

"Karl and I were in the same year group at school, and although it takes a bit of organising and weather watching, we love getting together for our Cedarbarn Pilates classes and hope to raise vital funds for Macmillan."

 

The classes take place between 9 am and 10 am and cost £10 per session. Although booking isn't necessary, participants are requested to register their interest by emailingwendykharding@gmail.comand to bring a mat and a drink to each session.

 

As part of the fundraising, Miller Food Service have donated pastries for participants who buy a drink from the Airstream trailer after the session.

 

Mr Avison said: "We're incredibly grateful to Wendy for giving up her time yet again to help with our fundraising. It's very much appreciated and we're really looking forward to it."
