Running, Fighting, Jumping and on the Water. A sports blog with interviews and up-dates on inspirational women athletes by a freelance journalist.

You know how everyone says you should take up a sport, meet some people and get out and about? A group of women kayakers and surfers do just that - in ten different countries around the world. The Butterfly Effect was set up about four years by Tatiana Howard ago to encourage women to get in the water.

But it's not just about having fun. The list of sponsored activities goes on and on ...." teaches kids the sports, encourages yoga for injury prevention and health, donates to charities by funds, clothing, food and/or school/art supplies, and cleans up beaches around the globe."

The next event is on March 26th in Grindelwald Switzerland. It's the first snow event so will be interesting to see if it gets the same enthusiastic turn-out. This video is from one of the 2010 events in Fiji.
