I dance for kids now so that they can have the chance to someday dance for others too! I participated as a dancer my first year and fell in love with UADM. UADM supports such an amazing cause and is an incredible experience. College can be so exhausting at times, and UADM is a great way to step away from all the craziness of school and just let loose! The day of the Big Event is a blast! It's so great to spend an entire day playing games, having fun, and just being a kid! The best part is that all of this fun is in support of all the kids at Children’s of Alabama!

I dance because dancing is such a small price to pay (if you can really call it that) for the children who visit Children's of Alabama to get the medical care they need. If all it takes for these children to enjoy the full lives they deserve is for me to offer a bit of time and money, I'm more than happy to do it.

Fave Hashtag: its a tossup between #miraclemonday and #whydontifitintomypantswednesday
Why does she dance?
I have been doing dance marathon since my freshman year of high school, and every year my love for the event grows, but my reason for dancing never changes - I dance for the kids.  There are kids out there who will never be able to stand on their feet for an event like the is, who will never be able to learn a line dance, but there are also kids who might have a chance to do so if they receive the proper care and help. By doing UADM, we are giving those kids that care and help they need so that one day they can dance alongside us, and we are also dancing to remember and honor those who will never be able to join us.  I love knowing that we are making a difference in these kids' and their families' lives, and that is why I love UADM.
