1 Month Until THON!

The common "trend" around campus today at Penn State is the hype and excitement for THON, as today marks exactly one month until the 46 hour dance marathon which raises money for pediatric cancer.

All those long hours spent on canning trips last semester, the THONvelopes galore, soon enough our dancers will take the spotlight in the Bryce Jordan Center and dance for a cure!  Today, photos and YouTube videos are spreading like fire on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.  Students are dwelling on last year's success and hoping for an even more remarkable result this year.

Dancers are surely preparing both mentally and physically to take on the challenge of standing for 46 hours.  Last year, the Penn State dance marathon raised over 10 million dollars to help kids with cancer.  The feeling as those numbers are lifted one by one being presented on stage to a room full of warmhearted and proud students, is simply indescribable.  The dancers, as the clock runs its last second, drop to the floor in complete pride, happiness, and fulfillment.  The reward is solely intrinsic, but there is no feeling comparable.

If you have a minute out of your day, visit THON.org and make even a small donation... every penny is one step closer to a cure.
