Beat the Betes ZUMBATHON.........



Today our Local Diabetes Education Office had a Zumbathon! It was so much fun! I can honestly say after 2 hours of Zumba every muscle in my body is screaming "What the world were you thinking!" Q got to attend as well. Of course she loved it! Anything that involves loud music and dancing is right up her alley.

It was a chilly morning but that didn't stop any one from coming. The goal was Zumba our buns off for 2 hours and raise some money for the local kids with Type 1 D. I believe we accomplished both. We also got to meet other families with kids with D. I think is good for our kids to know that they aren't alone and there are other kids like them.

Quincy got to get up on stage twice! I can say that she definitely doesn't mind being the center of attention. She got to go up once and help lead a dance and then again at the end to help with the cool down. She thought that was pretty cool!

Everyone that works on these events, attends these events, and makes a donation should know how much the community support means to us. So I just want to say THANK YOU! Thank you to the great staff at Trinity Diabetes Education Department. Thank you to all the volunteer instructors from around town. Thank you to everyone that came out and Zumbathon'd. Thank you to everyone who donated.

Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?
