Katy Perry isn’t the only one “roaring” these days.

The video and charity run helped raise $ 650,000 for CHaD kids.
In a viral YouTube video, young cancer patients at the New Hampshire hospital danced and lip-dubbed their way through the pop star’s hit single. They were joined by their nurses and even some fist-pumping administrators in business suits.
The video was created for the hospital’s Hero Half Marathon and Ripcord 5K. 3,141 people participated and managed to raise $ 650,000 for the hospital this year.
