 Certified Zumba and Dance Fitness instructors in paintsville and surrounding areas partnered with the Alzheimer's Association Saturday to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research. Every June, the Alzheimer's Association hosts an event called the longest day. During the event, participants are encouraged to do something they love or honor a loved one by doing something they loved from sunrise to sunset on the longest day of the year. Each team plans their own special day to honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease as well as their caregivers. Deborah Sloan, captain of the Cure Alls in paintsville, says they participated with the Zumba class. This is the second annual dance to remember that we've had. We have a team that actually participates in the walk and we're called the Cure Alls. And so the Cure Alls team, we do this event, we're going to do it annually, where we bring together Zumba instructors, pound instructors, any fitness instructors who come together to donate their time for the event. My mother has Alzheimer's. She celebrated her 74th birthday yesterday, so we do this in honor of her and of my friend Missy, the co-captain, her grandmother, who just lost her battle with Alzheimer's last month. The event went on for a couple of hours. There was a door prize and a silent auction. Looks like a lot of fun. It did. And they got in good shape. Something I needed to do. We'll be back with sports in two minutes.
