Zumbathon (TM) Charity Event to benefit "Sarah" was held on Friday, May 8, 2015 6.30 to 7.45pm at Pilot's Row Centre, Rossville St., Derry (Photos below).
"Sarah" is a local woman who
has been forced to return to Australia with her young child. She is
currently fighting for custody of her child with her Australian
ex-husband. While these proceedings are going on, "Sarah" has been
forced to Australia and she has been prevented from working or receiving
any type of benefits. She has no family there and is all alone
fighting for her child! She is scared and needs our help! Please
attend this Zumbathon (TM) and spread the word!
