A Healing Story: Diane Celebrates a Walking ComebackNew HWF Board member, Diane Ramftl, is celebrating her ability to walk again without a fear of falling.
During the three years following a serious accident, Diane felt fear when she tried to walk. She wasn ‘t sure if she would ever feel comfortable again just walking down the street – something we all take for granted – and she had been an avid walker. Those were tough years, but Diane credits her big turnaround with having the courage to try something new. Her recovery progressed rapidly when she tried the slow, elegant, and easy to learn movements of Tai Chi Easy™. After a few classes, her balance began to improve and she felt more confident just walking down the street. She dove in and continued to learn more about these ancient, mind-body-spirit practices. Compelled to share what she had learned with others, Diane is now a certified practice leader in the Atlantic City area. Diane credits these gentle practices with her recovery and is now celebrating her comeback in a big way.
Diane is Celebrating with a 10K!
Joining thousands of other people to celebrate the simple vitality of walking and running and being in good health, this October 21-22 on the world famous Atlantic City Boardwalk, Diane celebrates her healing triumph by leading Team Healer Within at the 2017 Atlantic City Marathon, half marathon, 5k and 10k run/walk races.
Ever wanted to do a 5K or 10K? You can walk it or run it with us! Here is how to do it this October 2017 in Atlantic City:
First, register to run or walk one of the race events at www.ACRaceSeries.com. Then join Team Healer Within and you’re all set! Joining the team means you run or walk with us.
Not able to join the race? You can still be a member of Team Healer Within and support the team. Team Healer Within will be raising money to train others to practice Tai Chi Easy™ to awaken their healing powers within.
It’s a celebration of wholeness, health and vitality!
