Lila Lazarus
Lila Lazarus leads her life at a pace that is breathtaking, invigorating and fulfilling– and that’s just in the morning. She is an award-winning journalist who has anchored the news in Michigan, Maryland and Massachusetts. Lila is also a yoga teacher and teaches weekly classes at the Yoga Shelter. Never afraid of a good challenge, Lila swam the Straits of Mackinac (a 5-mile swim) to raise money and awareness for Mentor Michigan. Each fall, she climbs from one end of the Grand Canyon to the other (21 miles) and back again. In 2007, Governor Jennifer Granholm appointed Lila to the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness. An avid motorcyclist, Lila was recently named Michigan’s Ambassador of Motorcycle Safety. Extremely active in community and charitable organizations, Lila serves on multiple boards and is currently President of Kids Kicking Cancer. She’s also very involved with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. She’s been a Big Sister for 20 years.
