The spirit of Michael Jackson lives on in the hearts and feet of 麻豆视频 students competing in the MS Moonwalking Competition at St Lucia on September 23.
As part of their course requirements, a group of 麻豆视频 PR students is working for MS Australia-Queensland to build awareness of the disease and raise funds to support research.
They have also been tasked with encouraging more students to register for MS Australia-Queensland鈥檚 annual fundraising event 鈥� 鈥� happening on October 22.
Student Toya Carter is already rehearsing MJ鈥檚 signature moves in preparation for the competition.
鈥淚鈥檓 watching tutorials on YouTube to help perfect my technique,鈥� she said.
鈥淲e鈥檙e all really excited about the moonwalking competition. It鈥檚 a great way to have fun while raising awareness about MS.
鈥淚t will be on at the same time as the weekly karaoke night and entry is free, so we are expecting a great turnout.鈥�
Ms Carter said she hoped students who attended the competition also registered for the Moonlight Walk.
鈥淪tudents don鈥檛 usually attend this event so our group is hoping to change that,鈥� she said.
