"You can't." Two words that speak volumes. Two words that children with disabilities and their families hear all too often. Two words that we at Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan (DMUM) won't say. DMUM is a registered non-profit organization operated by U-M students that strives to support non-traditional pediatric rehabilitation programs at C.S. Mott and Beaumont Children's Hospitals. We tell kids they can. They can ride a bike. Play soccer. Learn karate. Climb a tree. Fly a plane. The money we raise funds amazing therapies that empower countless families and creates lasting memories. These programs change children's lives, and they, in turn, change ours. Students involved in DMUM have the opportunity to build direct relationships with our beneficiaries through a year-long series of events. At our namesake event, the Marathon, we stand for 30 hours to demonstrate our support, to make our statement. These kids break barriers, push limits–so we do too. We don't let our bodies tell us that we can't. Because For the Kids, we know we can. This year, we invite you to join us! Drop in to visit a dancer, or see what we're all about at Closing Ceremonies (1:00-4:00 pm, Sunday 2/16)! COME STAND WITH US!
