A Yoga Fundraiser for J. Michael Taylor

Tuesday, December 6, from 6–8pm
Doors for the event will open at 5:30pm

This invitation is for all who have been inspired by knowing our dear Michael. He has graced us all through his humor, wisdom, and huge heart. Let us show our appreciation by attending this special event and donating to this fundraiser in honor of both Michael and his devoted wife, Doris.

Bring your yoga mat, your prayers, and a friend! We will have teachers who honor Michael's Iyengar Yoga style as they lead us in asanas.

Your donation will help cover Michael's medical expenses. Below is a link to the Go Fund Me page set up for him. Please consider donating, as any amount will truly help during this difficult time. We will also be accepting cash donations at the door.

Five years ago, Michael was diagnosed with Essential Thrombocythemia or ET, a part of the Myeloproliferative Neoplasms family you don't want to invite over. Then in October of 2021, it progressed into Myelofibrosis, a more aggressive blood cancer that required more aggressive treatment, including bone marrow transplants this past April and days ago this November. He is fighting to gain his health and his life back.
