    11 years ago I was aware of THON, but not involved beyond making small random donations.
    After our daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer we got a crash course in the world of pediatric cancer.
    THON is the world's largest student run philanthropy and the kids do a great job raising money and supporting the families impacted with cancer.
    It's a 46 hour dance marathon to raise money to support the Four Diamonds Foundation.

    The final 4 hours starts at noon today and you can watch here.
    THON Weekend Livestream – THON.org
    Some posts on other threads on here talk negatively about what our future will look like.
    Tens of thousands of 18 to 22 year old young adults can come together to support families like mine.:salute:
    It gives me hope that our future will be better.:D
