<p>I just thought everyone should check out THON this weekend if you get a chance. It is going to be amazing. <a href="http://www.thon.org%5B/url%5D">www.thon.org</a> or walk yourself down to the BJC!</p>
<p>Having just returned from State College and witnessing my first THON, words cannot express the range of emotions I felt throughout the 46 hour marathon. The students involved in this enormous undertaking (over 15,000) raised over 5 million dollars to help in aiding pediatric cancer patients treated at Hershey Medical Center. Seeing the children interacting with the college students was a heartwarming experience and hearing from parents whose children were no longer living but had benifited in the past from PSU's efforts was heartbreaking. I am so proud of my son's involvement in this worthy cause and I urge all of you incoming freshmen to take a chance and join this organization that gives so much to so many.</p>
<p>one of the best experiences of my life</p>
<p>Glad to see THON is stronger than ever. My sorority won the first thon raising $13, 000.00. We canvassed every business and home from State College to Harrisburg back then. I have great memories of all PSU events and have met alums from all over (even far from my PA home). There truly is a special bond among all Penn Staters.</p>
