Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
On Saturday, a bus load of friends and family departed for Baltimore in true Tracy Turnblad style - ready to seize the day!
The day went fast, but it was full! We visited the National Aquarium and saw turtles, jellyfish, and sharks. We even had some fun in the gift shop (see the pic of my husband, the "shark," below).
Afterward we went to Ripley's Believe It Or Not Odditorium where we saw shrunken heads, replicas of the crown jewels, pictures of Justin Bieber made entirely from candy, and more! I had to snap a pic of the Zoltar machine (Remember the movie BIG with Tom Hanks? One of my faves!)!
But this trip wasn't just about having a blast in B'more. We had a mission... to raise money for the American Cancer Society Make Strides Against Breast Cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. Out of the 26 on our small bus, two were breast cancer survivors - a strong testament for why we need to keep working toward a cure. Our trip on Saturday brought us $147 closer to that goal.
Throughout the fall we will continue to raise funds under our team name, Zumba Fitness Instructors and Friends. On Saturday, October 18th, we'll come together on Harrisburg's City Island for an early morning tailgate party followed by the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk. We'll be joined by 6,000 participants who are dressed in pink and passionate about the cause. An unforgettable event! Will you join us? See the links below for ways that you can get involved!
You can help!
