Evelyn Arlequin hasn't added a story.
It started with "Prayers for Kayne" who lives in LaGrange, NC. His FB page made it to my news feed thru my friendship with Pretz Karr! I decided to get some bracelets and help this young boy in their quest to raise money for his cancer care....shortly, thereafter, I met Maddie who needed to get to Boston for her cancer care....https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChildHoodBrainCancer (Wind Dancer) were raffling new laptop. Each ticket was $25. My heart went out to this family and I decided to get a raffle ticket....I NEVER WIN ANYTHING so I was not helping because I thought I would win, I was doing it because my heart moved me too.....Wellllllllll, I won the laptop...didn't even know it for a couple of days but low and behold it was true....
I guess because I liked these children's pages more children started to show up on my news feed and I started following, sharing and sending prayers but I want to do more....
Call me ignorant but I never realized just how many children are afflicted with cancer....46/7 means EVERY DAY 46 children, from infant to teenage years, get some form of cancer of those 7 will lose their battle...
I want you to understand something....when we prepare for the birth of a child, grandchild, niece, cousin, etc., we don't set money aside for cancer because it does not even cross our minds that it can happen to us.. But guess what, NO ONE IS EXEMPT and that is REALITY!
I have been blessed with healthy children which made me want to help even more....I struggle as a single parent on day to day survival...I don't know what I would do if I had half of the financial struggles of these families.
I'm a Zumba instructor and we have Zumbathons all the time for many causes so I decided that I would share my idea and see what kind of feedback I would get. Everyone I spoke with loved the idea of giving the money to the families instead of a foundation. Now, I want you to know that foundations are AWESOME and do so much for these families but I wanted to help families directly so I submitted a request to ZUMBA.COM for permission to do this Zumbathon and was approved.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.....Now, I need YOU! I need you to open up your hearts and donate to help us make this event not only a success but a memorable one!
I want to thank you for taking a couple of minutes to read this and I look forward to seeing your name on a donation or ticket for this event!
In the meantime, have a wonderful day ALL and remember to love and cherish those in your lives because tomorrow is not promised!
