A Message From Laura Mancuso
Prayer for a Pandemic by Cameron Wiggins Bellm
May we who are simply inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips remember those that have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those that have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a shelter-in at home remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors. Amen.

Spiro100 Offers Seniors Free At-Home Wellness Program in Response to COVID-19
Los Angeles, CA: Spiro100 today announced it will be offering free wellness programming to seniors, caregivers and senior living communities in response to the global pandemic COVID-19.
“At Spiro100, our mission is to offer wellness programming to all seniors regardless of age, ability or physical location. Over the past few weeks our team has been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak, staying up to date with the latest CDC/WHO guidelines and talking with our customers, seniors, caregivers and wellness experts. We believe the time to take action is now. Following our mission statement, we are coordinating an effort to make Spiro100’s wellness programming available to those that desperately need it.” says Alex Rochestie (President of Programming at Spiro100)
Care centers continue to suspend services, communities are imposing quarantine and older adults are self-isolating due to the extreme risk this unprecedented global pandemic presents. Social isolation and loneliness in communities and the health of individuals kept in quarantine is a widespread concern. Staying active and healthy in isolation is exceedingly important and possible with programs available at-home or in-room.
Spiro100 will be rolling out several major initiatives to support relief efforts in the following ways:
Live Broadcast Page. To make access to our fitness and wellness programs available as quickly as possible we will be broadcasting live classes and other programming for free. Starting on Monday March 23rd the Spiro100 special broadcast will be available live daily by anyone via tv.spiro100.com Details on programming and other places to watch will be updated via social media.
Individuals & Caregivers. The Spiro100 mobile and smart tv apps were designed to make exercising at home safe, fun and easy to access. To provide healthy wellness programs to those in isolation or quarantine we have extended free trials from one week to 30-days. App subscriptions will now be offered for $8.99/mo (usually $12.99/mo) or $89.99/year (usually $99.99/year) for those interested in continuing access to the program past the free trial offer. Sign up and get more info by visiting us here https://home.spiro100.com/checkout/subscribe/purchase.
Communities, Care Facilities, Home Care Agencies and other organizations. Spiro100 offers a full featured website as an Enterprise product for large organizations. We are currently offering free access for 30-days to all B2B partners with no credit card required. Visit spiro100.spirofit.com/free-trial or email support@spiro100.com for more information.
“Working together we can keep our seniors healthy, active and connected while in isolation. Spiro100’s unique ability to deliver quality wellness programs to seniors at home or in-room can be a godsend to those individuals in isolation or under quarantine. While we hope and pray that the world’s medical community is able to come up with vaccines or treatment to combat COVID-19 we must prepare for the long haul.” says Mark Scher (Co-Founder of Spiro100)
Please help spread the word about these free resources by sharing this release by any means possible.
