"I was always into fitness she was always into dancing," said Marisa's mom Cindy. "I brought her into a zumba class and it as history since then."
This is the fourth annual zumbathon event held at the Tonawanda Castle with all the proceeds benefiting Make-A-Wish.
"Over the past few years my mom and I have raised $100,000," said Marisa. "With that we've been able to grant five wishes."
