The Dance Marathon is a student organization at the University of Iowa that raises money to support the families of children who are battling cancer. I first became aware of this group when my six year old grand-nephew, Ambrose, was diagnosed with leukemia.
During his treatment at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital, the family received support from the Dance Marathon team. In such common sense ways as -- Casey's gas cards, money for the cafeteria, to buy groceries or pay for parking...
Recently, they had an event at the Community Center in Princeton, Iowa...Lilly LOVES TO DANCE..

| Although the room was too dark to get any decent pictures -- that's my grand-nephew Cale up there, with his guitar and his BAND... |
 |
| The little kids had a great time, dancing... |
 |
| Doing a boy vs. girl version of the "ne-ne"... |
 |
| Then, a line dance -- with Lilly in her LOVE jacket on the end... |
 |
| The Dance Marathon team earned a permanent place in our hearts when they took such good care of Ambrose... |
Cale and Ambrose were in the same grade, but Ambrose only got to complete the first grade. I took this video when their class graduated from elementary school...
Cale was just learning how to play his guitar...the poster was a photo of Ambrose.
Wow...where does the time go, eh?
There will be a big Dance Marathon event at the North Scott High School on December 10. If you
