The weather was actually okay - overcast, but not rainy. I was in the area at the time, and heard the Turnpike was shut down, but didn't imagine this.
On the downside, You have a lot of young, inexperienced drivers on the road in packed vehicles. That's why they instituted a lot of new rules to keep the kids on these road trips safe.
On the upside, you have young people (working in groups for safety) talking to the public, explaining the charity, and visiting different parts of PA and surrounding states, and raising lots of money for a good cause (childhood cancer). They raised so much that their initial goal has been met and they were able to tackle new challenges (Initial goal: taking away all extraneous expenses from the families of pediatric cancer patients, #2 building a pediatric cancer wing at Hershey Medical Ctr, #3 setting up satellite clinics in small town in PA so not everyone needs to travel to Hershey for treatment)
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Tally Sepot, the Alpha Chi who was killed, and the young people in the car who were injured and/or traumatized.
The alums have started a GoFundMe in her honor - read about it here:
