THON 2012 is just around the corner, this weekend to be exact, and you will for sure see me there! Please donate if you can to a great cause and help us reach 8 digits this year, which would break the 10 Million dollar mark as last year was over $9.5 Million. If you don't know what THON is, you should and should check out http://thon.org/ to see one of the greatest organizations in the world, STUDENT RUN, dancing, canning, doing anything and everything for a cure! 46 hours FOR THE KIDS, FTK!

A video my sister shot, edited, and produced during THON 2010!

I could care less about Sandusky, however I guess raising 80 million dollars for childrens cancer is not a big deal?

Also, I've lived here for 12 years, I knew Joe Paterno personally, am friends with the family, he was a great man, and someone I was proud to call my friend, unlike those freshman who barely know their way around the town that are crying you see on TV, so yeah, go fuck yourself.

I am in THON, Rules n Regs. Everyday We're Gib-a-lin committee. I its definitely the best cause I have ever been a part of and something I am really proud of.

THON funds what is called the Four Diamonds fund which is a fund that supports children who are diagnosed with cancer. And when I say support, I mean that if you are a four diamonds family that EVERYTHING involving cancer is paid for, right down to the gas money and meals it takes to drive to Hershey Medical Center. I can't imagine learning that your child has life threatening cancer and having to spare a thought to figure out how to fund it.

If thats not enough, just being there and knowing that you personally are taking cancer out of these kids lives even for just a day is incredible.

So for all of you who keep throwing up these "I have $50 to spend" threads. Put it here cause its truely an amazing cause.
