A message from the organizer:
I am training with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team In Training program to prepare for and run 13.1 miles in the Baltimore Half Marathon on October 10, 2009. This will be my 3rd event that I have fundraised and ran for the LLS. Last year I ran 26.2 mile in the Baltimore Marathon and 13.1 miles in The Disney Half Marathon while raising over $7,000 for the LLS. I hope to surpass that amount this year with your help!
I am running in memory for my grandmother LaVerne Virginia Mack, who passed away in March 2009 from brain cancer and my mother-in-law Valerie Ann Richardson who passed away in August 1990 from pancreatic cancer. And in honor of my friend Allyson’s son Connor Riggs an 8 year old boy, Connor who was diagnosed with ALL at the age of 3 and underwent 2 ½ years of chemo and steroids. And I am happy to say that Connor is winning his battle and is now in remission.

All Seasons Recap
The last All Seasons was amazing! So many wonderful dancers and so much fun! I can’t wait until they start up at their new venue.
Share on FacebookKiva Recap
Wow! What a night! Kiva was amazing. It was a 4 hour concert full of dancing and joy. The band members and the audience were both WONDERFUL! I couldn’t ask for a more appreciative audience. I haven’t had so much fun in such a long time.
Unfortunately since I was dancing the only photos we got were posed before the performance. I am hoping other people got some photos they will want to share.

Starlight shimmy was wonderful. Thank you Zareen for continuously organizing a wonderful event.
Apparently there is a gap between the stage and the wall…..I was unaware of that until I stepped in the gap and lost my footing during our performance. Oh well, even the best of us make mistakes. I think I recovered quick enough though.
