Zumba Shelly

Last Saturday June 26th, 2010 we had the opportunity to meet a real FIREBALL!!! Shelly is an amazing women who thought she was going to Markland Mall in Kokomo, Indiana to zumba for 4 hours for an event that was actually for her. Little did she know that we something completely different in mind for her.



Shelly is a breast cancer survivor . She is finished with chemo and is getting ready for her next step, surgery. We thought Shelly could use a bit of pampering. We showed up unannounced on the Zumba Stage with flowers and candy and a big Hello Gorgeous! and Dan, Mike and Seth escorted her off of the stage through the mall and onto the mobile day spa.

Shelly was treated to a manicure, a pedicure and a facial. We found a wig that was fun and spunky like Shelly and Trish applies her make-up. What we did not know was that Mary Martin the Marketing Director at the Markland Mall had sent a note out to all of the retailers letting them know what was happening. Shelly had surprise visitors all day long bringing her gifts. Sears came with a new outfit. Englins showed up with a new pair of shoes. Victoria Secret came with bath goodies. Andrews Jewelers came with a matching pearl necklace, bracelet and earrings for Shelly.
Books-a- million made Shelly her foo fie drink. Ben's Soft Pretzels delivered a fresh hot pretzel to our Mobile Day spa. Everyone at Markland Mall helped give Shelly an amazing day, beyond my wildest dreams,

When we were finished, we escorted Shelly back into the mall where her Zumba cronies, her husband and her parents were waiting for her reveal. She looked amazing and it was very hard to say goodbye! I did not want the day to end any more than Shelly did.

Shelly is very inspirational and tells her story every chance she gets hoping to bring awareness to the fact that anyone can get cancer even a fitness instructor that lives for health.
