Fred Brown
I am a DAD, who is excited to be able to dance in the Children’s Tumor Foundation’s – Dancing with Our Stars Event in honor of my daughter who has neurofibromatosis. Our family has attended every gala in support of our NF Hero – hoping to make a difference for her, and all those with NF.
Jacob Jones
You may know Jacob Jones from Jones & Son Fine Jewelry, he is also on the board of directors of the Wolfe Street Foundation and was chair of Oscar Night America 2011. Jacob was asked to dance and accepted to help the Children’s Tumor Foundation to hopefully be an extension of the philanthropy work that he and his father annually give as the “official jeweler” of Arkansas Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Ball.
Rob Lambert
When I’m not dancing, I am a cardiologist in North Little Rock, husband to a beautiful lady, and the proud father of five children. My daughter, Eleanor, has neurofibromatosis; it is for her and finding a cure for her disease that I dance.
Aiyana Cristal
My name is Aiyana Cristal and I am originally from Tacoma Washington but my career has moved me all over the country and the latest stop is here in Little Rock. I am a Sports Anchor/Reporter at KTHV and I am excited to be a part of Dancing with Our Stars especially since it’s for a great cause. I think it is extremely important to Help the Children’s Tumor Foundation find a cure.
Leah Thorvilson
I am from Minnesota and moved to Little Rock in 1999 on a track and cross country scholarship at UALR. After college I found my passion for running increased with the distance, and I began running marathons professionally. I am currently training to compete in the US Olympic Trials Marathon, which will determine the 3 women who will go on to the 2012 summer Olympics in London. Trying to live out my dream as a runner has required a lot of emotional and financial support from sponsors and the community. Because of this, I try to give back through my abilities any way I can. I am honored to have been asked to participate in Dancing with Our Stars, and know that our efforts will help to find a cure for NF.
Angelica Rogers
I am the wife of John, mother of Lexie, John Matthew and Gabriel. I am passionate about many causes, heart disease, cancer, the arts, at risk youth and now the Children’s Tumor Foundation. I have a special young friend with neurofibromatosis and I am dancing for her!
