Kelly Is A Fire Starter

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

I’m extremely grateful for Kelly, who reached out to me and made me aware of The Sports Bra Challenge. Because of her note, we were able to connect, promote a cause we both believe in and share our passion with the world. Additionally, she gave me momentum to reach out to Jocelyn, Jenny, and Kelly and offer my help to further their cause. I was also able to loop Tom in on what we were doing, and he was able to assist us by writing a story on The Sports Bra Challenge. So Thank You Kelly, for inciting the fire in my belly. I wish you the best of luck in your Sprint Triathlon. As my brother likes to say, Crush it and Be Present.

In honor of the S.E.A.K’s The Sports Bra Challenge which takes place this Thursday, May 17th, at Union Square Park, we will be donating $5.00 of every mi-bra sale to the S.E.A.K foundation, and running interviews with the founders (links to interviews below).

The Sports Bra Challenge is a day-long charity fitness centered around women working out in a series of group fitness classes in their sports bras. Get in on this epic celebration of our bodies and support S.E.A.K. Foundation and City of Hope’s Positive Image Center, which helps cancer patients regain and retain confidence in how they look while undergoing treatment.If you’re not going to be near the NYC area: Wear a sports bra while you cook dinner, walk the dog, run outside, take a yoga class, or while hiking with your friends. 

GirlHabits: What can’t you live without?

Kelly Janowski: Chocolate! I started running two years ago because my love of food was interfering with my ability to fit into my clothes. I got myself to a healthy weight and use exercise to reduce stress, get stronger and earn a calorie deficit that I can fill with delicious food.

GirlHabits: What do you love most about The Sports Bra Challenge?

 Kelly Hurley: I love how it takes one person’s fear and unites a huge group of people.  This started as one insecurity that Jenny spoke up about and now we have hundreds coming together to fight it.  It’s an amazing feeling to face our fears and support one another in overcoming them.
