St. Jude’s Fitness For A Cure Gala (VIDEO & SLIDESHOW) – Lowell Sun

"Don't stop believin', hold on to that feeling!"

LOWELL - On March 18, the 18th annual Fitness For A Cure Gala to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, presented by Flexecution Inc., was held at Lowell Memorial Auditorium. The high-falutin' gala was dedicated to Danny's Dream for Danny Thomas, who founded St. Jude's Research Hospital.

More than 1,100 guests filled the "Family Show" during the day and evening gala, which featured magnificent dance performances from the St. Jude Performance Team. More than 100 exhilarating children and students from the Merrimack Valley and New Hampshire, ranging in age from first grade to college, danced their hearts away, day and night, all for the love of St. Jude's children.

The SLS Fitness Team

Sherri Laffey Sarrouf organized the gala. Sherri is a 53-year-old Lowell native, a well-known health and fitness guru, and owner of the popular SLS Fitness Strength and Conditioning Center of Lowell and Woburn. The Energizer Bunny has nothing on this gifted fitness guru. Sherri, with her passion for fitness and her family, formed the St. Jude Performance Team and created the Fitness For A Cure event 18 years ago, and the event has generated more than $4 million all for St. Jude's.

Sherri and her strong and talented SLS Fitness Team visit St. Jude's in Memphis, Tenn.

Sherri and her longtime childhood friend, Heather Rozen, and her children, Stephen and Elizabeth Sarrouf - both UMass Lowell students and choreographers of the Fitness For A Cure Performance Team - raised $507,000 in just this single day and night event with the help of their students, the SLS team, sponsors and volunteers.

So "don't stop believin', hold on to that feeling" with love, prayers and support for all the admirable St. Jude's Children. For more information, visit http://www.stjude.org.
