This Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Zumba instructor Pamela Murphy of Merrill will host a Zumba Gold event at the MARC, 1100 Marc Dr. in Merrill, to raise money for Jessi’s Wish. The cost? There will be no traditional class fee associated with this event. Rather, Murphy is asking participants to make a donation to Jessi’s Wish instead. “Let’s fight breast cancer together,” Murphy said.
A Zumba instructor for 10 years, she said donating to Jessi’s Wish enables all proceeds for the event to be used to help local families dealing with breast cancer.
“I have been a long advocate of supporting women in general and specifically those that are battling breast cancer,” Murphy said. “Cancer has touched many people I know, and Jessi was a woman whom many in our area knew and loved very much. So I chose Jessi’s Wish for my fundraiser again this year.”
“I know what a struggle it is for families going through the fight with breast cancer and struggling with finances all the while with their emotions, and that is why I want to help them as much as possible,” she said.
