MY passion IS movement and having this opportunity to set goals and "chase" them when it comes to fitness. Blessed with "energizing bunny energy" for both my work at WGVU and for my fitness, I am thrilled to invite YOU to get involved through a sponsorship or attendance! Just say YES! (like Shelley!)
