Hey everyone!
Back with another fantastic event that I hope you can join in on!
We already have a fantastic line of instructors for this event that is so near and dear to my heart.
As many of you know, Brandon and I lost our best friend/brother 2 years ago to suicide. It was the hardest year of our lives as we navigated through loss as to how to move forward from something so tragic. We know that Brian is here with us and this is an event in memory of him and everyone’s silent battle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc.
We are extremely lucky that Brian’s mom will speak as well as a number of instructors on how suicide has impacted them.
We will be having the following:
- Raffles
- Vendors
- 1.5 hour Zumba/mixxedfit/commit dance a thon
- Memorial wall **
**Memorial Wall - everyone is encouraged to bring a picture (there will be paper and markers provided if you just want to post their name) of someone you lost to suicide.
This wall will be who we are dancing for and keeping them in our thoughts during the event.
The MORE PICTURES THE BETTER!
We are a caring, kind, supporting and loving community 💙
