Duchess of Kent House Charity (DoKHC) would like to say a huge thank you to all those who attended and helped organise Reading’s first Zumbathon® charity event. It was held on Saturday, 2 July at Loddon Valley Leisure Centre, Lower Earley.
Women from all over Berkshire came together to take part in this 2 hour non-stop Zumba® party, while raising money for specialist hospice care services in the area.
Approximately £1000 was raised for the Charity at this Zumbathon®, by a mixture of complete beginners and those who attend regular classes. Local Zumba® instructors Daniela Capasso, Leanne McNulty, Catherine Short and Isabella Nicolaides kept the party going.
Zumba® is an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party taught in gyms and fitness centers to people of all ages, sizes and shapes.
George Solly, Director of Fundraising at DoKHC, said “It’s the first time we’ve held a Zumbathon® charity event and we had no idea how successful it would be. The response was fantastic and we are looking forward holding another one in November 2011.”
