Orangetheory fitness studios around the country have partnered with the Usher Syndrome Society to host a day of donation classes on June 3rd, 2023 to help raise awareness and funds for Usher syndrome.
WHY?
1. Awareness
Usher syndrome is the leading genetic cause of combined deafness and blindness, yet most people have never heard of it. Let's change that together.
2. Mental Health & Accessibility Awareness
Rebecca Alexander, an award-winning author, psychotherapist, disability rights advocate, group fitness instructor, and extreme athlete will use her personal experiences and professional commitment to educate OTF coaches on how to improve accessibility in fitness and empower people of all different abilities to push past limiting beliefs and set higher goals.
3. Funding for Research
All of the money raised from this event will go directly towards funding critical research for treatments and a cure for Usher syndrome.
“Inner strength is rooted in our ability to develop tolerance with discomfort. When we shift our mindset from trying to overcome obstacles and adversity to learning to live with it, we can become more compassionate, determined, and energized to live a deeply meaningful, self-confident, and authentic life.”
Rebecca Alexander
