I just took the time to watch this. Wow. Just wow.
This week, thanks to my oldest being really sick, I got to spend a good bit of time in the local children's hospital. I've been left amazed at what all they accomplish, and thankful that they are there.
These students - they get it.

Amazing. I have a little cousin who just finished up cancer treatment. I thought about him the whole time I watched this video. These students' lives will never be the same after having been involved with something so big and powerful. I applaud Penn State and all of the people who get involved in so many ways.

Thank you for sharing that wonderful documentary, AST.
That was the best 43 minutes of my day.

I thought I'd bump this, as THON is only 10 days away!

Only 10 days? That was fast! Have a great THON and I hope you raise a lot of money for such a good cause!

I saw a link for this article in my FB newsfeed. It's awesome that THON inspired someone working in cancer research, and it's really interesting the work that they are doing on leukemia.
HERSHEY, Pa. -- For Sinisa Dovat, THON and the Four Diamonds Fund are not only sources of funding for his novel research into leukemia, but also were inspirations to come to Penn State Hershey.
“I was happy at my former institution,” Dovat, associate professor of pediatrics, said. “Then I saw a video of THON and saw the energy of these kids. I never saw anything like it and was stunned. It really got me. I knew I wanted to be a part of this place, where there’s an upward trend.”
