Solstice Love Dance Disney

Donation protected
'Solstice Love Disney Dance' is about helping an 8-year old dancer, whose dad is fighting Stage 4 Colon Cancer and undergoing 55-hour chemo infusion with five chemo drugs, every twelfth day. Healing her dad is our priority, as well as lessening the resource and emotional impact that cancer brings, especially to the children. Solstice offered to do more household chores, and make and sell lemonade and bows to earn funds to fulfill her dream to dance with 'Dynamite Express' and in Disneyland's 'Dance The Magic'. I originally said 'No.' A few days later, I realized I was wrong, and that my role as a parent is to support Solstice and her efforts to make her dreams come true despite the hardships of cancer. This disease can offer invaluable lessons beyond pain and suffering. I want Solstice to pursue her dreams today and 30 years from now, and find ways through and around life's obstacles. Disney's 'Dance the the Magic' event date correlates with our anticipated end of Chemo Therapy for Coby, which reinforced my desire to support Solstice's dream. The date is a milestone and unlikely to be the end of cancer in our home; there is still radiation, surgery, and more alternative holistic care. However, Solstice's dream is one of the positive and inspiring parts of this journey. All the love, blessings, big and small acts of kindness, and support are amazing, positive and inspiring parts too. Thank you.

Solstice's message: Please help me dance with my dance team, Dynamite Express and in Disneyland's 'Dance the Magic.' Where we learn new choreography, perform and dance in the Holiday parade, that is recorded live and broadcast on Christmas Day. I love to dance and have been dancing since I was 3 years old. My dad is fighting cancer, and mom is trying to keep life for my brother and I as normal and fun as can be. Mom said in order for me to dance with the Team this year, I have to raise money for Disney Dance the Magic and my team costumes and gear. I really want to dance with the performing team (it is my 4th year). I am inspired by my competive dance friend Madeline to do my best, work harder and follow my heart. I am 8 years-old and following my dreams. Your support will allow me to perform locally, including performing to raise funds for a children's charity, and to dance in The Happiest Place on Earth: Disneyland!
