 | This sounds incredible. I wish that I could participate. |
 | I love it whenever you can combine an activity you love with a great cause. I've gone to several Zumba-thons in my city supporting local food banks and school supply drives. A fantastic workout and raising much needed funds! This event sounds like a lot of fun, too. |
