Meet Arianna

Spread Ari's Light was founded in memory of Arianna Dougan, who was diagnosed with cancer at age 3 and lost her battle at age 11. Ari loved to dance and benefited a great deal from the dance therapy she received while in treatment. Her parents saw it had a tremendous impact on her well-being and brought joy into her all too short life. Thus, inspiring part of the mission of Spread Ari's Light to fund dance and movement therapy programs to other young patients battling cancer and other critical illnesses.
