A Portage la Prairie massage therapist is doing everything she can to bring in donations for a very worthy local cause. The Massage for Hope Challenge was started by R.M.T. Tracy Enns, who is giving 35 fifteen minute massages today and giving all the money brought in to the Portage Family Abuse Prevention Centre.

Enns says the response from the public for this idea has been phenomenal and it has really taken on a life of its own. Enns says she wanted to challenge herself to bring in additional support for the centre and hopes that Massage For Hope could turn into an annual event with more Massage Therapists from across the Central Plains participating in the future. Any donations received during Massage For Hope will be given to the Portage Abuse Prevention Centre later this week.
