When we saw little Audrey get down with her Zumba moves in this video, we were totally impressed with her spunk and accuracy. But when we did a little bit of digging and learned a little more about this 5-year-old, we were nearly brought to tears. This amazing little girl suffers from a life-threatening disease called Diamond Blackfan Anemia. But even though she has had over 20 blood transfusions in her short life, not to mention many other struggles that she has faced, nothing stops her from dancing her little heart out. Check it out:

According to the Facebook page dedicated to raising money and awareness for Audrey’s disease:

Audrey Nethery was diagnosed with a very rare disease called Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) in her first year of life. Audrey is now 5 years old and has received numerous blood transfusions and now undergoing steroid treatment at Kosair Children’s Hospital. Audrey is truly amazing; she is full of life, super smart. She loves to sing and dance and can’t get enough of the camera!!

Isn’t this little girl is a role model in so many ways. She shows us all that no mater what difficulties we may be going through, we should still enjoy life to the fullest. Just keep dancing like this strong little angel!
