Shana Dawson is motivated entirely by friendship to raise funds for breast cancer in her own home community, after witnessing the inspiring journeys of five of her dear friends interstate.
Shana says:
Just briefly, I wanted to explain the motivation behind the choice of this charity and event. Very simply put, the answer is – 5 friends, all under 35, all healthy with young families, all diagnosed with breast cancer in the last 18 months. The daily struggle I have seen from these ladies is undeniably heartbreaking, however, it has not been the struggle that stands out, it is their strength, their positive attitude and their motivation to kick cancer in the butt that has been unbelievably inspirational. So when it comes to being there to help my friends, this is the least I can do and I know many other wonderful people who feel the same way!
We chose to start the event with Yoga due to an increasing body of research showing that yoga can help prevent cancer, and help cancer patients and survivors manage risk and side effects after treatment.
Yoga brings balance and alignment to all body parts and systems: muscles, bones, organs, and the mind. It’s a holistic path to wellness that focuses on interconnection.
Here are 5 reasons yoga is being used for cancer prevention and recovery:
• Yoga Strengthens the Immune System
• Yoga Detoxifies the Body
• Yoga Builds Bones
• Yoga Reduces Stress
• Yoga Aids Weight Management
The benefits of yoga for cancer prevention are profound and I am thrilled to have Yoga Instructor Amy Weidlich from Lotus Bay Yoga, agree to hold the session for us in the beautiful environment of Driftwood Living!

“I think what motivates Shana Dawson to bring our community together for Pink Ribbon is definitely at the heart of what I hold dear in my life. Friendship, connection and being there for people means a lot to me and my family,” says Amy Weidlich from Lotus Bay Yoga.
“Breast cancer has unfortunately touched the lives of so many people I care about. I was very moved and inspired by the tenacity of family members and friends I have, who are also survivors. So Shana’s work to raise funds for Pink Ribbon is a wonderful way of celebrating this.”
