​On February 27, I will be participating in University of Alabama Dance Marathon. This fundraiser raises money for Children’s of Alabama, our local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in Birmingham, AL. UADM has made contributions to Children's for the past four years and this year our goal is to raise $160,000! Please consider helping me reach my personal fundraising goal by donating to my fundraising page. With your help, we can help fight pediatric illness and make a difference in the lives of so many kids. FOR THE KIDS! FTK!
