Bear Necessities beneficiary shows off her moves

At Club DM, nine-year-old Jamarielle Marks shows off a couple of her dance moves – "the pop fist" and "the wigout."

"I like dancing a lot," she said. "I wanted to have fun. I think it's nice for these people to dance for me."


Marks who has been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia will be a beneficiary of Bear Necessities' small miracle program.  Though she hasn't decided what she wants, she thinks she wants to go in a limo with her friends, have some snacks, go to ESPN Zone, play games, eat and have a sleepover.

Marks is at Northwestern with her parents.

Amid tears, her mom said "Just the fact they're (the dancers) out here dancing for her, it's incredible," her mom said.
