THON 2008 WAS SOOO AMAZING :)
we raised $6,615,318.04 for the kids! 1.4 million more than last years total! great job everyone
that is 6.6 million reasons to SMILE, 6.6 million reasons to HOPE!
So a little bit about the weekend...it started 4pm on friday, after our 2nd dancer meeting where the kirby family talked to us about their experience through THON and their battle with Max's cancer. so the tears started to flow! the tunnel to the BJC was awesome....it started raining on our way over. i saw everyone on Morale and different committees that would be supporting me and all of the dancers that weekend, hugged and high-fived everyone (caused a traffic jam which they said not to do) haha but it was worth it! so then we kicked THON off and it was amazing to see all the Dancers stand up for the first time :) my moraler WUuu was there for the beginning! that was sweet! she got me some cool stuff to start THON off with and surprised me throughout the weekend with different gifts! she even made me a Steelers Cape!!
It was great seeing my R & R committee when they were on the floor and through the hallways of the BJC <3>
