My name is Sheetal Dewan. It has been 8 years, since the Stage IV or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) diagnosis in the summer of 2018. As a mom of 2 really little boys then, I didn't know how long or how much of my babies I would be around to see.
From the first time that the cancer had spread to the liver, to this past year where it metastasized to the brain, it is thanks to the advances in cancer care, cutting edge radiation and surgery technology and the research of newer treatment options that I'm still here, cherishing every moment the universe has been kind enough to offer.
Cultivating a daily yoga practise has helped keep my faith higher than my fears and my body strong enough to withstand all that comes with the toxicity of the lifelong treatments.
Join me as I bring my 2 passions together : yoga and advocacy for MBC research, with a donation based yoga session, generously offered by Gemma from Gratitutude Yoga Princeton.
Where: St Matthew's Episcopal Church | 300 S Main St, Pennington, NJ
When: Sunday, September 27th | 4pm to 5pm EST
Every dollar donated will go towards cancer research!
**Let me know if you are able to join the yoga class by including a message when you make the donation.

Bring a mat and feel free to come dressed in MBC aweareness colors or pink, teal and/or green.
