Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with Prairiewoods
<p>Mindfulness is the power of mind to be deeply aware of what's happening—without commentary or interference. Research reveals numerous benefits to the nervous system, emotions and general sense of well-being. In the eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program via Zoom, we will cultivate the skill of mindfulness through formal meditation practices and informal integrative practices. Facilitator Chris Klug, a grief counselor and mindfulness teacher, has been an instructor in the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics since 2001. This series is co-sponsored by Prairiewoods and Cedar Memorial. It consists of a two-and-a-half-hour class each week for eight weeks (Tuesday evenings from June 1–July 20) and one extended six-hour Saturday class (July 10), all via Zoom. If you want to participate in this online eight-week series, please attend one of the information sessions (May 18 or 25). The information sessions are free, but the eight-week series costs $300 (a reduced fee because this class is being offered online). (Partial scholarships are available through Cedar Memorial.) For more information or to register for an information session, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p><p><br></p> 2017-01-13 18:30:00 -0600

Courage Ride
<h5><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Courage Ride is a multi-route bike ride through southern Johnson and Washington counties. Proceeds from Courage Ride support the Sarcoma Cancer Research Program at the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center.</span></strong></h5><h5><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">Courage Ride, an annual charity bike ride benefiting the University of Iowa’s sarcoma cancer research program, has announced it will resume as both an in-person and virtual event. It also has added a second start/finish location at the Washington County Fairgrounds that will take riders along the Kewash Trail to Keota. The 17th Annual Courage will also return to Big Grove Brewery and Taproom in Iowa City.<br>The Washington location will offer two routes along the beautiful Kewash Trail, a limestone surfaced trail along a former railway.<br>Big Grove will offer six routes that will continue to take riders through the scenic Amish countryside near Hills and Kalona and out as far as Washington and Keota, Iowa for the longer routes. A 5 mile Family Fun ride to the Terry Trueblood Recreational Area is also being offered.<br>Courage Ride is following federal, state and local pandemic guidelines, as of May 2021, to ensure a safe ride experience in 2021. COVID measures are subject to change as regulations, restrictions and recommendations change prior to our August 14th event.<br>“We feel so blessed to be able to return to in-person riding for those who can. Last year was definitely a challenge and we really missed seeing everyone who has come out and supported us over the past 16 years,” said Courage Ride Director Leora Houghton. “And we are so excited to add Washington, Iowa as a second location. This location is a great opportunity to grow our event and offer a different trail ride experience for those who like to get closer to nature. Growing the event means more dollars going into sarcoma cancer research at the university where they are making great progress on this rare form of cancer.”<br>Courage Ride honors the life of Seth Bailey, a courageous young man who died at age 25 from sarcoma cancer in 2003. His parents, Jackie and Tom Bailey partnered with Bicyclists of Iowa City (BIC) in 2005 to create a ride that all levels of bicyclists can enjoy.<br>Courge Ride organizers anticipate between 600 to 700 bicyclists to register for the event. Beginning at 7:00 a.m., bicyclists will travel on 8 different routes. Routes from Big Grove include lengths of 5, 18, 37 (Seth Bailey Courage Loop), 58, 72 or 107 (The Tom Bailey Century) miles. Routes from the Washington County Fairgrounds include lengths of 17 and 35 miles.<br>Bicyclists at Big Grove can also participate in a silent auction featuring items from a variety of area businesses, organizations and craftsmen along with free skin cancer screenings by University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics dermatologists. The local community is also welcome to participate in the free skin cancer screenings.A Live Facebook Fundraising event will be held Thursday, August 12that www.facebook.com/couragerideProceeds Support Sarcoma Cancer ResearchAll proceeds from Courage Ride go to the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center Sarcoma Research Program. Over the past 16 years, Courage Ride has raised over $660,000 for sarcoma cancer research.<br>To date, Courage Ride proceeds have seeded numerous sarcoma cancer research grants. Many of those grants have evolved into promising, larger scale research studies. This newfound momentum in the Sarcoma Research Program has created a lot of enthusiasm among researchers, investigators, doctors and cancer care providers at the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center. The results are leading to new advancements, new partnerships and attracting some of the best research talent in the nation. Patient lives are improved as a result of these research studies and the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center is gaining worldwide recognition for its expertise in advancing sarcoma research.<br>Courage Ride’s mission is more crucial than ever considering that funding for cancer research has been shrinking over the past 10 years, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Yet cancer remains one of the nation’s costliest diseases. The American Cancer Society’s 2020 estimates for soft tissue sarcomas in the United States (these statistics include both adults and children) project that 13,130 new soft tissue sarcomas will be diagnosed (7,470 cases in males and 5,660 cases in females) and 5,270 Americans (2,840 males and 2,430 females) are expected to die of soft tissue sarcomas. Over 100 adults and children in Iowa are diagnosed with sarcoma each year. Sarcoma receives one to two percent of all cancer research funding.<br>Discount For Early RegistrationRegistration is now open. Early adult registration is $75 (through Friday, August 6). Beginning August 7, adult registration is $85. On-site registration Friday, August 13 and 14 is $90. Youth registration (13-17) is $15. Registration includes breakfast and lunch, entertaining rest stops and SAG support. A victory party with live music will be held throughout the afternoon.<br>Visit www.CourageRide.org for more information about the event including registration, route maps, parking, or to make a donation. </span></strong><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>ABOUT THE RIDE</strong></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Two start/finish locations: Big Grove Brewery and Taproom in Iowa City and The Washington County Fairgrounds in Washington, Iowa</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Over 600 riders are expected to register</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>8 total routes, ranging from a 5 mile family fun ride to a century ride (5, 17, 18, 35, 37, 58, 72, 107 miles).</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Registration at Big Grove opens at 6 a.m. Registration at Washington opens at 7:30 a.m.</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Includes breakfast and lunch</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Rest stops with food, drinks and live music</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Cyclists receive detailed maps, SAG support, bike mechanics and free tent camping.</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Courage Ride jerseys available to order</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>A silent auction at Big Grove featuring items from area businesses, organizations and craftsmen</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Free skin cancer screenings performed at Big Grove by University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics dermatologists</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Adult-Early Registration (through Friday, August 6th) $75</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Adult-Week of Registration (starting Saturday, August 7) $85</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>On-site registration Friday, August 13 and 14 is $90.</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Youth (13-17) $15</strong></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Children 12 & under are free.</strong></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Visit <a href="http://courageride.org/" target="_blank">CourageRide.org</a> for route maps, registration information or to make a donation. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Also follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!</strong></span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">Join us for this fun event and help us "Fight Sarcoma Cancer.
