Extreme
Makeover Story on Channel 11 News |
January 23, 2005 |
| On Sunday, January 23 Extreme
Makeover Home Edition on ABC aired a story about a
17-year-old girl, Jhyrve Sears, who recently underwent
seven months of chemotherapy and a blood transplant at
Duke Hospital.
While her home in California underwent a makeover (to
remove mold and other allergens), a select group of swing
dancers was asked to help Jhyrve celebrate here in North
Carolina.
Swing dancers from both the MAD Hoppers and the Swingalings
performance teams were asked to participate in a special
surprise Sock Hop party at George's Garage Restaurant
in Durham. Jhyrve watched as swing dancers danced all
around her.
The MAD Hoppers were very honored to be a part of this
celebration.
