I got to dance this year, and I'm so glad that I did. My feet are so swollen, but I'm glad I got a chance to dance my last semester at PSU. I had so much fun, and it was awesome that we raised so much.

Congratulations to all!!!!
4.1 million for the kids
Wow! Amazing!!!! I hear about schools around Philadelphia holding fundraisers that bring in $9,000 or $10,000, and it makes the local news.
But $4.1 million!!!
Great job BlueGBI and SOPijawbreaker!!! I never had any desire to dance (I'm way too wimpy, and it's not easy, as SOPiJawbreaker can attest), but did do my share of canning and collecting.
Damn, this should get more publicity, both for Penn State and for the image of GLOs. So far today I heard nothing on the local TV or radio news, and we're in the same state as PSU.

Apparently it made the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer. I'm not betting on the news making it out here to Colorado though.

It brought tears to my eyes.

I sent an email to the writer thanking him for writing it. It encapsulated what THON is all about. This is the first time I ever seen anything about THON in one of the Philly papers so this makes me doubly happy since I'm from Philly.

Oh yeah. I can't wait for THON 2006 even though that will be my last year @ PSU. I really want to be a captain for 2k6 or I'll dance.

Well, canning's not exactly easy...standing out in the cold for hours...that's definitely not wimpy.
Also, PSUSigKap, thanks for posting that link. That article brought a tear to my eye too.

Well, if it's any consolation, WHYY/WRTI (Phila NPR station and the Temple University's radio station) did a nice piece on it this afternoon. They interviewed a doc at Hershey, who explained all the good the monies do for the families - and how many additional families will be helped because of the successful outcome this year.
You guys should be really proud of yourselves!
