Last night my family and I attended the annual ALS Ball, a black tie charity event for Lou Gehrig's disease. It is an amazing event complete with dinner, an auction, and of course dancing, in support of research for the cause and cure of ALS.Each year my grandparents and aunts and uncles all come together to support our friends that are struggling with this disease, and it usually provides for a fairly emotional evening. There weren't as many of us this year, but as usual, once the serious business was over we had way too much fun.
There is always a band that plays everything from Earth, Wind & Fire to Michael Jackson - the perfect dancing music! I love that despite the seriousness of the cause and the fanciness of the event, people are getting down and dirty on the dance floor. The men were even called on stage for a dancing contest to determine who had the best butt...my boyfriend won. It was entertaining, to say the least!
Reflecting back on the night, our hearts are filled and our legs and feet are sore. I'd say it was a success!
