"&amp;quot;Happy tearjerker&amp;quot; is totally a thing, right? Because that&amp;#x27;s pretty much what happens when you watch this inspiring video, in which patients (and their nurses, docs, and other hospital staff) at the Children&amp;#x27;s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock lip-synch to Katy Perry&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;Roar.&amp;quot; The song, of course, is about rising up and fighting when faced with a challenge. And these kids&amp;amp;#8212;whose little bodies are fighting fights that a lot of us can&amp;#x27;t even comprehend&amp;amp;#8212;take it to a whole new level. According to Londonderry Patch, the idea was from child life specialist Holly Gaspar, who said: &amp;quot;All of our CHaD Kids have a roar. Sometimes we hear it, sometimes we see it, and sometimes we feel it. They are strong, they are brave, they are all fighters.&amp;quot; The video was shot in just one day, and hospital staff say that almost every kid was able to get out of bed and dance. Funds raised through the sharing of the video benefit the CHaD Hero Half Marathon&amp;amp;#8212;and it&amp;#x27;s working, because so far, it&amp;#x27;s raised about $650,000. There&amp;#x27;s no word yet on what Katy herself thinks of the video&amp;amp;#8212;but it&amp;#x27;s clear these kids are superstars all on their own. I&amp;#x27;m sniffling (in a good way, though)! What&amp;#x27;s your reaction to the video?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
