Let me explain a little bit more. On Saturday I spent 13.1 hours dancing. That's right, I didn't take a break...didn't even sit down. It was all a part of an event called Mizzou Dance Marathon, which raises money for Children's Miracle Network hospitals. This was my second year participating in DM.
If you enjoy Zumba (and if you're reading this, you probably do) and are looking for a charitable cause to get involved with, I highly recommend Dance Marathon. You'll have a blast! In fact, you probably won't realize how tired you are until the very end because you'll be having so much fun.
And it's all for a great cause. This year, Mizzou's Dance Marathon raised over $150,000 dollars that will fund programs that allow kids to keep up with their schoolwork while they are being treated in the hospital. How awesome is that?
If you weren't at DM last weekend, here's a video of what you missed. As a journalist I need to give major props to Anthony Martinez who shot and edited it...his work is absolutely incredible given the time restraints he had. Check it out!
DM's mantra is "For the Kids," or "FTK" for short. So, if you enjoy dancing and helping people I highly encourage you to get involved with DM.
And as always,
Keep dancing (FTK)!
