Thirteen-year-old Darrell put on a dazzling array of dance moves Saturday in front of onlookers at the Mall of America — but Darrell happens to be in a wheelchair and living with HIV.
On Saturday, University of Minnesota student groups Minnesota's Future Doctors and the Minority Association of Pre-Health Students , in addition to other groups, helped engineer a 12-hour dance-a-thon at the Mall of America to raise money for children affected with HIV.
The $52,000 that was raised will help kids attend camp One Heartland, a national non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of children infected with HIV, such as Darrell, and their families .
The event, which began around 10 a.m., consisted of both featured performers with choreographed routines and impromptu dancers who just wanted to help the cause.
In addition to Darrell, who delivered a poignant testimonial on top of his performance, 400 other volunteers joined the cause, including former American Idol participant Paris Bennett and actor Jonathan Bennett .
Last year, the event raised $38,000, but the groups were determined to reach $50,000 this year, which they surpassed.
Chemistry sophomore Alex Yue , one of the primary organizers of the event, said about 80 percent of the kids that they raise money for are living in poverty and cannot afford to go to the camp on their own budgets.
Thuy Nguyen-Tran , from Minnesota’s Future Doctors, said the groups really wanted “to see people live healthy lives,” which is what sparked them to become involved.
Sophomore biology and physiology student Dame Idossa participated in last year’s event as a dancer, but did the majority of recruiting for the 400 participants this year, about 50 of which were University students.
Idossa recruited the “Half-Pints,” which featured about 25 dancers and their leader, Eboni Poole , a senior at Brown College.
“Anything that’s going to help support [HIV], I’m willing to give my time,” Poole said. “I’m hoping that we are blessed to get the opportunity to perform every year, because we had a blast.”
Sammi Grob , a freshman at Jefferson High School in Bloomington, was one of the non-featured volunteers. Grob and a group of friends dedicated six hours out of their day dancing for the cause. Students from Jefferson were able to raise $3,000.
Yue said the groups have plans to expand their involvement on campus to Welcome Week in the fall.

CURE for HIV/AIDS....Ambush
THE CURE for HIV/AIDS.......AMBUSH
THE IDEA that AMBUSH cures AIDS
is being proven by the more than 400 individuals who have taken a dose of 60 ml three times daily for 21 days. The result is that AMBUSH 'KILLS' the virus by causing the protein envelope to rupture and the viral particles are discarded by the white blood cells. AMBUSH is able to 'KILL' the virus that are 'hiding' in the lymph system by its 'natural radioactive' properties. This process allows the body to 'return to normal health' with a corresponding immunity to that or those strains of the virus.
What is AMBUSH ?
AMBUSH is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is found in the 'palm' plant of which there are more than 3000 species. When ingested, AMBUSH causes the body temperature in the trunk area to rise to about 102 degrees when the individual is sleeping. The preparation takes four hours per batch, which is then given to the individuals for consumption 60 ml three times daily for 21 days. AMBUSH is a herbal preparation in this form but it contains an active ingredient which is a 'NEW' crystalline substance, a drug from the 'palm plant' similarly to ASPIRIN originating from the willow tree bark
RESULTS:
After 21 days on AMBUSH, ALL the individuals experienced a decrease in viral load to undetectable, an increase in cd4, increase in RBC, an improvement in general health such as more color to the face, decrease in Buffalo hump, an increase in gluteal muscles, a decrease to having no joint pains whereby individuals can bend to touch their toes, and walk up steps are but a few examples. There is also a dramatic increase in their sexual appetite beginning after the first week of therapy
DISCUSSION:
In any plant concoction such as percolated 'tea', there are 30-40,000 compounds, whi ch would take the scientific community twenty years to isolate one particular ingredient if they knew what they were looking for. The LORD GOD has given me seven steps to isolate the active ingredient, which is soft and metallic in nature and has a carbon- uranium-sulfur-(classified)-phentolamine configuration or structure. This is similar to Federick Kekule and the discovery of the benzene ring where he dreamt the structure.
As an antiviral and 'natural radioactivity' producing agent, AMBUSH is also effective against leukemia, lupus and HPV. Here I am saying that I have 'GIVEN' AMBUSH in the same 'strength' and dosage to patients with leukemia, lupus and HPV. A 35 year old male with HIV found it difficult to impossible to urinate was put on 'green tea' and water while the doctors contemplated prostrate surgery. One of the doctors gave him my number , I sent him a supply of AMBUSH an d he has not been given any more ARV's, since taking AMBUSH 18 months ago, is in 'good' health and has expressed a willingness to be examined by HIV investigators like many others who have taken AMBUSH.
I have sent this 'IDEA' to most HIV research agencies, scientist of the field, universities, hospitals, clinics, politicians and news agencies to which it is REJECTED because the name of THE LORD GOD is mentioned. He has steered me scientifically through the processes such as which plant and how to produce the active ingredient. What are the odds of a Florida Pharmacist picking a plant would contain the CURE for HIV/AIDS ?
I have never charged any of the people for their supply of AMBUSH but a life saving has been spent on the project with NO renumeration from any sources because AMBUSH falls outside the walls of modern medicine and research.
PROPOSAL:
My proposal is that I PROVE that AMBUSH CURES HIV/AIDS by giving it to a number of END-STAGE or DRUG-RESISTANT people and the scientific community watches their recovery. This proposal addresses the problem in that I have already outlaid the results to be obtained.
This IDEA is unconventional in that the scientific community has rejected AMBUSH because I say it is GOD given. Secondly if I wrote it according to certain standards, then it might be peer reviewed. However, THE LORD GOD has also shown me that there are five enzyme systems associated with the virus, reverse transcriptase, protease, fusion and two more of which causes the virus to be AIRBOURNE. This means that without DIVINE intervention mankind and ALL warm- blooded mammals will be extinct in a number of years.
The PROOF of what I am saying is found in scientific papers wherein it is found that when the protease cuts the viral strands, it cuts it at DIFFERENT lengths EVERY time, to which it should always be a valine at the end but is a different amino acid every time. This is why it is IMPOSSIBLE to produce a VACCINE.
Since this is NOT a hypothesis but there are about 400 individuals who have taken AMBUSH, here lies a vast area in which to check, recheck and confirm that AMBUSH CURES AIDS. Let it be mentioned that during the HIV reproductive cycle, reverse transcriptase converts viral RNA into DNA compatible to human genetic materials. Thus the human DNA has been 'hijacked' and since each person has a DIFFERENT DNA, then the new viral copy is unique to that person which shows that each individual has a DIFFERENT STRAIN of the virus. Consider two HIV positive people swapping viral strains and increasing its complexity with multiple partners.
It can also be proposed that they be revisited as proof that the strain or strains that they had were 'killed' at the time of taking AMBUSH considering that a person can catch as many different strains as there are people who are infected by HIV.
I am also willing to work with the scientific community in identifying those individuals who took AMBUSH and wish to be identified with this process notwithstanding that some are stigmatized while others are jubilant,
Once AMBUSH is verified as being able to accomplish that which is aforementioned then the next stage might be the natural and artificial synthesis of the substance.
Finally, if this is accepted or not, believed or not, THE LORD GOD always wins and this is the heavenly truth to which AMBUSH was divinely given to mankind for the CURE of HIV/AIDS and it will be here forever. Apostle Shada Mishe.

Why do you advocate for your treatment in response to this article rather than commending the 400 participants of this event, the event planners, and the donors for doing so well?
Congratulations to the event planners, the donors, and the participants. Thank you for making a difference!!!
To "Apostle"
Where is your scientific proof that the HIV virus is airborne? What do you know that the CDC has not discovered? Why are you so selfish with your research results?
HIV Questions At YouTube
Please be advised that flu shots will cause one to have a false positive result on the hiv test according to a 2006 New England Journal of Medicine report. The hiv test only identifies the presence of 2, 3 or 4 proteins for a positive result depending on which country one tests in and many conditions will cause the body to produce those proteins including recreational drug use, pregnancy, tuberculosis and malaria among others. The original paper linking hiv with immune system decline has been shown to be fraudulent - please see the evidence at www.fearoftheinvisible.com - and please see the videos at www.youtube.com/hivquestions (and healing alternatives) - there are now videos from all around the world in many languages that show the true causes of AIDS and how hiv testing is cross-reactive and fraudulent as well as the research which has primarily been funded by drug companies. donald rumsfeld was chairman of top selling hiv drug company gilead sciences prior to his appointment by bush to secretary of defense. two men who have been accused of torture and murder are also being honored for their efforts to fight AIDS? they have made millions. let us pray for all those who have been misdiagnosed with hiv and AIDS.
