Hoops for Hope

Sunday, May 20, 2012
Noon – 3:30 p.m.
The Long Center for the Performing Arts

Dust off that old hula hoop and get in the groove because we need your help to break the Guinness World Record for the largest hula hoop workout!  Join The Smile Never Fades and your fellow Austinites on Sunday, May 20 at The Long Center for the Performing Arts as we twirl, twist and roll our way into the history books. Out of practice? That’s okay. The only requirements are a hoop and a smile.

To appease the lovely folks at Guinness, advanced registration is encouraged. The next step is to learn the routine. From there, it’s all fun and games!

5:30 AM~ What were we thinking?!?!?

Blog written by: Amy Warren- boot camper!!

Hip-hip-hooray for Week 1 of Austin Angels Charity Boot Camp! What a blessing it has been to work-out with so many amazing people every morning! 5:30 AM came early for each particpant, but with so much positive energy and encouragement (and a little early-morning giggles), we are all a little closer to meeting our fitness goals, AND to helping Austin Angels meet their mission goals! Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 states, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” This is exactly the attitude we have held at the boot camp and it goes hand and hand with the attitude of Austin Angels. Together we are better, and together we can make a difference!  

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO:

Trellis, Susan, Amber R, Tavia T, Lisa H, Patrick H, Rae L, Laurie H, Janice G, Heather R, Jason C, Lindsey C, Sarah H, Molly I, Kim C, Mike F, Amy W, Laura L, Sunne T, Amber Re, Katie M, Nicole B.
