Zumba instructor Katie Last will be raising funds for her team, Vigilante Stompers, to go towards June’s “Relay for Life” event. Last has been a certified Zumba instructor for five years and has been heralded for her work by world-renowned teachers from far and wide.
“I’ve been wanting to do something like this since I first got certified,” she said, “I wanted to reach out to the community for a good cause and use my love of Zumba to help others, not just by coming to classes but by having people less fortunate to benefit from the generosity of me and my students.” says Last
This will be done by teaching Zumba classes at R. Ross Beattie on Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm to 7:00pm starting April 8th, 2014.
The Misiway Community Health Center is sponsoring the gym usage.
The cost is $10.00 per person but if you want to donate more*, you are more than welcome to.
100% of the proceeds will go to benefit Katie’s team campaign.
Cancer comes in many forms and touches people in many ways. Participants are encouraged to wear coloured clothing based on how cancer has touched their life. Ex: if you’re supporting someone with, have or have survived breast cancer, you would wear pink. Listed below are forms of cancer and the colour that represents them.
• Lavender (general) • Pink (breast) • Light blue (prostate) • Royal blue (colon) • Yellow (bladder/bone) • Teal (cervical/ovarian) • Gold (childhood) • Grey (brain) • Orange (kidney/lieukemia) • Purple (pancreatic/testicular) • Black (skin/melanoma) • Lime (lymphoma) • Pearl (lung) • Burgundy (head/neck/multiple myeloma) • Green (liver) • Periwinkle (stomach) • Blue/pink/teal (thyroid) • Peach (uterine)
Everyone is welcome, from newbies to kids to regulars! Let’s make each class a wave of colour and support such a worthy cause. “Even if you feel like you have two left feet, as long as you’re moving and motivated. Even those who say they can’t dance will have a good time.”
This annual event is held to honour people that have been affected directly or indirectly by cancer by walking for 24-hours. This year’s event will be at O’Gorman High School on Friday, June 6th from 7pm to Saturday morning at 7:00am.
*- receipts available for donations of $20.00 or more **- Please note that the classes are being done to support a team (Vigilante Stompers) participating in the event.
