Introducing My New Project...

I'm excited to be involved in another project for a very special, and beautiful child, Melodie.

Melodie is the daughter of Christelle, a good friend from my Zumba & Boot Camp class and one who has recently become a close friend - maybe because we share the same goal: to be fit, healthy, and happy. Sounds easy, but well - it's a lot of hard work. Nevertheless, because of the friends I've made in these classes, and the support of our fearless leader/trainer - Eduardo Vargas, these normally torturous workouts has become enjoyable, fun, and full of laughs.

Christelle is usually accompanied by her two children when coming to class. This is where I met Melodie and her younger brother, Alex. Two beautiful, perfectly normal children. So I was very surprised when I heard that Melodie has seizures brought on by Epilepsy. I knew nothing about Epilepsy then, nor did I ever know anyone who is epileptic. She is the first, and touched a spot in my heart because anyone who knows me, know that I have a soft spot in my heart for children.

With this blog, I hope to accomplish only TWO THINGS:
1. Help raise enough funds to get Melodie a very much needed seizure response dog. With what I know now, I believe very much that this dog can possibly save Melodie's life. That is why this is a PRIORITY, and I encourage anyone who can help, to please extend a helping hand. Click on one of the options under the "DONATE" line on the right, and give what you can today. Any amount will help us bring Melodie closer to having her very much needed seizure response dog.

and

2. Increase Epilepsy Awareness, and the value and importance of seizure response dogs to lives of Epileptics.

Look on the right under "DONATE", and help with what you can now.
Thank you so much, we appreciate your support!
