If you know Michelle, you know she's one of the hardest working people around. While managing a demanding full-time job, running Work It Dance & Fitness with her husband Tony and battling breast cancer for the 2nd time, she still gives 150% to her students and friends.  Michelle is the first person to drop what she's doing and offer help every time I've needed it and now, it's my turn to do something for her.

We all know cancer sucks. Many of you have been touched by it either directly or indirectly. But it's also expensive. Work It has been a labor of love, offering community and fulfillment, but not much in the way of profit. Michelle has bravely chosen to fight cancer HER way which involves an exorbitant amount of out-of-pocket costs. The truth is, I know that she and Tony are working their butts off to afford medications, continuous exams & scans, doctor visits and supplemental treatments. She recently purchased a device that was several thousand dollars because it was proving to be helpful when she went for treatments at a local business that has since closed. When you're fighting cancer, you do what it takes!

Michelle is fighting the battle of her life to live and thrive. Those of us who love her don't want her to compromise her health because of cost so please, if you are willing, help us reach our goal. There is no amount too small.

After years of giving to this community of dancers, Work It clients and fitness enthusiasts, she would never directly ask us for help. But she surely deserves it.

Thank you all -- Work It Warriors, friends, family and community.
