To my family and friends

Six more days before we have our big Zumba Master Class! This fundraiser is going to be a major reason we are able to go to India. I've been overwhelmed at how many family and friends are coming to support me! I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who is planning on coming, I know that many of you feel like Zumba is out of your comfort zone. I can promise you it will be fun. Chenelle is an amazing instructor and she so excited to teach and she has a lot of fun doing it, in return so will you! So bring a bottle of water and come get fit and donate to an amazing cause!  

Everyday I feel closer to India! I know that this is going to be a life changing experience. I feel blessed to have this opportunity and so many family and friends supporting me! I can't thank you enough!

I'm so excited to be going to India with my great friends Chenelle Young and Krissy Palmer, we are doing a huge fundraiser to raise money to help get us to India! This will be huge, please come and invite all your family and friends. We need the support. Please come support us and have a good time while doing it! Its a great cause and its going to be a great time. I hope to see you all there!

Lets Zumba!!!

                                            

                                                                     Step #2

Step number 2 shots!  I'm feeling so excited to be taking little steps toward my visit in India. A few weeks ago I went to the Health department and was educated about how to take care of myself while in India! I received all my recommended shots and prescribed all the medication I need to stay healthy during my stay in India! 

Today I submitted all my paperwork to get my Visa to India! Ahh.... I'm really doing this! I already know that this will be a life changing experience and I'm feel blessed for the opportunity to have such an experience.  

I know that this journey wouldn't be possible with out all my state side sponsors and all the donations from my Family and Friends! As a volunteer I help fundraiser for the organization. Each volunteer is expected to raise money to help pay for the programs and initiatives of Rising Star like the children's school, medical clinic, and colony support projects. A small part of the money covers my stay. As a fundraiser I become an active shareholder and not just a temporary visitor. As my partners so have you. Thank you so much for all your support and love!
