DENVER (March 13, 2007) — More than 100 women came together at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs, Colo. for the first-ever Jana Stanfield Jammie Jam Slumber Party to help single mothers who are homeless, many of whom are survivors of domestic violence, and support the mission of Colorado Spring’s Partners in Housing (www.PartnersinHousing.org) on Friday, March 9 and Saturday, March 10, 2007.

Talisman would love to introduce you to the joys of aerobic exercise. She began teaching aerobics in graduate school as an antidote to the sedentary nature of academic life and 14 years later she stills gets a thrill from every class. Though history professors are not often known for their “funky” style, Talisman learned to appreciate samba and other Latin rhythms while living in Brazil (ostensibly doing research). She believes group exercise is not about perfecting a routine, but about finding joy in movement. Life is uncertain, so enjoy a thumping hip-hop beat while you can!
Kristen Adelman, Kick Boxing
Kristen is a Fitness Trainer from Elkridge Maryland. She is a three-time cancer survivor (Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma) and 2004 Tour of Hope team member.

It was a life-changing event which has heightened even more her desire to reach out to those in need.
Kristen grew up as a competitive gymnast, transitioned into Rugby during college, then pursued power lifting followed by body building for a few years. Looking for yet another new challenge, Kristen found endurance sports. She has completed seventeen marathons, several ultra marathons, including a 100-miler, triathlons, including an Ironman, duathlons, adventure races and ultra hikes. Many of these events were completed while she was undergoing her chemotherapy treatments. Her life's motto is "Never Ever Quit" along with "You never know what you can do until you try...so try everything!"
"You can't always choose your circumstances, but you CAN choose how you respond to them."
Health and fitness are a priority in Kristen's life and she is committed to helping others with these goals as well.
