We invite you to join us on Sunday, October 19th at SoulCycle in West Hollywood for what should be an fun, upbeat and unforgettable ride.

About Lila

Our Mother Lydia “Lila” Torres had an incredible Soul.  As a mother, teacher and mentor, Lila embraced every challenge with confidence and undeniable faith.  She was a role model and confidant to many of her students, always providing a non-judmental ear and guidance for those most troubled.  Her unique experiences and perspective on life granted her the patience, understanding and open heart to help and elevate others. Her hard work ethic, generous nature, adventurous spirit and humorous character were just a few of her other unforgettable qualities.

Lila was a devoted teacher for almost thrity years, believing strongly in the power of education. Perhaps the greatest lesson she taught us was to show compassion to all and uplift those in need. For our friends and family, we hope that you will carry on our mother's legacy by helping our brothers and sisters who struggle with burdens that are too heavy for they themselves to carry (Galations 6:2).

***Please note that all proceeds go directly to the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation to fund research for a variety of brain disorders.
