A collective “Ohm” was heard across Marion Square in Downtown Charleston this past Saturday. Quite a crowd gathered to participate in a yoga marathon to benefit Louie’s Kids, a non-profit that raises money to treat childhood obesity.
Louie’s Kids was founded in 2001, by Louis Yuhasz. Yuhasz started the organization in honor of his father, affectionately known as Big Louie, who died from complications due to obesity.
On my blog, I like to feature those who inspire me. Yuhasz inspires me because he says he has found “his life’s work.” Yuhasz lives to serve a purpose greater than himself. His organization treats every child as an individual– determining a course of action perfectly suited for him or her.
“I think if you ever met these little girls and boys, you would get the kind of goose-bumps I get when I think about having made any sort of difference in their lives.”
Louie’s Kids serves economically disadvantaged children nationwide. You can learn more about Louie’s Kids, seek assistance, make a donation or seek volunteer opportunities by clicking here.
