Watching little, 6-year-old Audrey Nethery filled me with so much joy, but when I heard the story behind it, I was moved.
Dancing is the body's natural response to music, so seeing people dance always fills me with positive emotions.
Dayna Dobias was told that she could never dance because of her disability, but she didn't let it stop her, and then there's this little girl, who kept dancing even after losing her leg.
The power of dance is real, and young Audrey proves that. In the video below, she gets her groove on to the tune of "Uptown Funk" during Zumba class.
What seems like the regular spunky moment of a little lady has inspired millions of people.
When Audrey's mommy posted the video on Facebook it quickly garnered millions of views!
So why is Audrey a hero now?
She has a condition called diamond blackfan anemia, but she doesn't ever stop dancing.
See her story below and SHARE if this brave little girl inspired you.
Meet 6-year old Audrey Nethery. Not only is she an expert Zumba dancer, she has become a hero to millions!
Audrey has diamond blackfan anemia, a bone marrow condition that affects her body's ability to circulate oxygen.
Due to her condition, Audrey has had 20 blood transfusions, and she will have to endure them regularly for the rest of her life.
Though she faces unique obstacles, she's still a spunky little girl. "Audrey is a happy, loving, smart, little girl who loves to dance, listen to music, and collect dolls and stuffed animals. She is incredibly strong and leaves an impression on everyone she meets!" her father told the Daily Mail.
After the video of Audrey dancing garnered over 3 million views (some of her videos have over 11 million!), she paid it forward and was able to raise $10,000 for the Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation.
Watching Audrey dance is a reminder that, no matter how many obstacles get in our way in life, sometimes you've just got to keep dancing!
Please SHARE this inspiring little girl's story with your friends and family!
