At Movement Co, one of our core values is giving back to the community. Each month, we choose a local charity or organisation to support with our weekly Community Movement Class, and for the month of June we are excited to be honouring a brave young warrior — Owen James DiCandilo.
Owen was born with a rare genetic brain malformation condition called Lissencephaly. Instead of his brain being wrinkled like ours and looking similar to a cauliflower, his brain is as smooth as an egg. After being told be may never smile, sit, crawl, walk, or talk, his family are dedicated to doing anything they can to maximise his development as a child.
Join us from 9.30am every Saturday throughout June as we enjoy 90 minutes of strength and conditioning, calisthenics, handstands, gymnastics, parkour, climbing and flexibility work to support Owen and help him reach his full potential.
There is no cost for the class, but at the end of the workout we simply ask you to make a donation based on what you think the class was worth. All proceeds go to supporting Owen and contributing to the intense specialised therapies and equipment he requires to maximise his development.
It's completely beginner-friendly and you don't even need to be a member to participate — all you need is yourself and as many people you can drag along to move, play and raise money for a great cause!
Come along and join #OWENSTRIBE and help Owen and yourself redefine possible.
Dates: Saturday 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th June
Time: 9.30am - 11am
Venue: Movement Co, 7/97 Hector Street West, Osborne Park
