Gone Viral: CHaD Patients, Staff Rock Out To Katy Perry's 'Roar'

YouTube

The patients and staff at the Childrens Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center have hit the Internet big time.

Their video of them lip syncing to Katy Perry's "Roar" has been viewed just over 1.2 million times on YouTube, as of Thursday afternoon.

The hospital produced the video for its CHaD HERO Half Marathon & Ripcord 5K.

And it's getting national attention.

The Huffington Post has picked up the story, as has BuzzFeed, just to name a couple examples.
