Simply Misunderstood XO

Last weekend my little brother did something AMAZING to take a stand against cancer! He was a dancer in Penn State’s #THON – a 46 hour no sitting or sleeping danceathon – For The Kids! #FTK
⠀⠀
At first I thought – why 46 hours? Why no sitting or sleeping? Why put the students through that? Aren’t there other ways? ⠀⠀
But I found my answers when I actually attended the event myself…
⠀⠀
All of the students may have been feeling pain (including me when I held him like this to give his knees and feet some relief!), but it’s NOTHING compared to the pain the children go through during their battle with cancer!! 🎗
⠀⠀
& seeing the excitement and happiness they bring to each family makes it all worth it!!
⠀⠀
THAT’S why they do what they do. 🙌🏼
⠀⠀
After all was said and done, THON raised over $10 MILLION this year to help fight childhood cancer! 💰💸
⠀⠀
I want to congratulation my brother and all of the other dancers for being role models and making a difference! 👏🏼
⠀⠀
Unfortunately, cancer touches many peoples’ lives, so most of us can relate to the dedication of fighting back against it! 👊🏼 #fuckcancer

“One day we will dance in celebration. Until then, we dance for a cure.” 💙🔷
