YouTube Star Expert Advocate Joins WE Fit Wellness Team

Colorado Springs, Colorado (September 1, 2015). Today, 
<http://www.wefitwellness.com/>WE Fit Wellness announced the addition 
of Maureen Neitfeld to their team of expert advocates. Neitfeld stars 
on her own YouTube channel, 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUtfS9hwT0g>Breaking Blind, which 
has nearly 10,000 subscribers and climbing. WE Fit Wellness is 
launching a multimedia initiative, which will include podcasts, 
community radio, WE Can Culture workshops, and the Breaking Blind 
YouTube channel. In January of 2015, WE Fit Wellness launched its 
programs to bring exercise and nutrition options to underserved 
communities. These programs have been greeted with great enthusiasm, 
particularly by individuals with disabilities.

WE Fit Wellness Executive Director, Jessica Beecham said, "It has 
been absolutely wonderful to play in this space. We are building and 
connecting a community around total fitness education and the 
motivation to re-create one's self.  We have offered solutions, beta 
tested products, and conducted numerous workshops and seminars." 
Jessica continued, "Maureen Neitfeld's Breaking Blind YouTube channel 
will help us increase our reach. She brings unparalleled expertise, 
passion, and an extraordinary story of perseverance and success."

On Breaking Blind, soon to be rebranded, WE Fit Wellness Breaking 
Blind, Maureen confronts stereotypes about blindness, breaks through 
misconceptions, and motivates others with her approach to health and 
wellness. Maureen lives a full, rewarding life, teaching home 
management to blind and vision-impaired students at the 
<http://coloradocenterfortheblind.org>Colorado Center for the Blind. 
She is a living example of the Center's "take charge with confidence" 
approach to training. Maureen has undergone more than 30 surgeries as 
a result of Von Hippel-Lindau disease. Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome 
(VHL) is a hereditary condition associated with hemangioblastomas, 
which are blood vessel tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and eye. The 
eye tumors are also called retinal angiomas. VHL took Maureen's sight 
at the age of 16.

Maureen explained, "I persevere through willpower, love from family, 
a commitment to diet, exercise, yoga, and by maintaining a positive 
attitude. Joining the WE Fit Wellness team is an honor and a 
tremendous opportunity to encourage everyone to find their fit. The 
Breaking Blind YouTube channel will continue to personify the right 
of all people to live in the world on terms of equality. Or as the 
<http://www.nfb.org/>National Federation of the Blind exclaims, 'to 
live the life you want.' We will break barriers, inspire, and have a 
lot of fun doing it!" Maureen continued, "Breaking Blind on YouTube 
will also offer us the opportunity to feature inspiring stories of 
Paralympians working with the <http://www.usaba.org/>United States 
Association of Blind Athletes."
