Patti Clark was a membership counselor at Lynne Brick's Belvedere Square. An avid runner, at one time she was the picture of vibrant good health.

Inexplicably, Patti contracted ovarian cancer at the age of 40. After combating the disease for several years, she succumbed at the age of 42. Patti worked right up to the end, buoyed by her unflagging spirit and attitude and the support of friends and family. When we visited her during her final days, she was wearing her Lynne Brick's T-shirt and had a smile on her face — no hair on her head, but a smile on her face. "I love that place," she said. We love you, too, Patti.

Inspired by Patti and in honor of her memory, we are gratified to announce the "Patti Clark Memorial Membership" to extend a complimentary membership to Brick Bodies and Lynne Brick's Women's Health & Fitness Centers for women while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, with the approval of their physician.

Please contact me in confidence for more information if you or a friend or family member can benefit from "Patti's gift".
