DANCE FOR A CAUSE

ZUMBATHON TO SUPPORT

 

Retinal Degenerative Disease RP

 

1.5 hours of Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Reggaeton, and all your other ZUMBA favorites!

 

I recently heard of a Retinal Degenerative Disease RP, because a couple of our ZUMBA students have it. I could not believe it when they told me that more than 10 million Americans of every age and race suffer vision loss from these blinding diseases.

 

Apparently RP and Usher syndrome are inherited diseases commonly diagnosed during childhood or young adulthood. RP causes severe vision loss leading to legal and/or complete blindness. Children with Usher syndrome are born with varying degrees of deafness and later develop RP.

 

We want to support them and raise money for their participation in VISIONWALK 2008, a big step in boosting research for retinal degenerative diseases, hosted by The Foundation Fighting Blindness, Inc.

 

I am asking you to help us by simply “Dancing for a Cause”

at our Fundraising Zumbathon!
