It’s taken me a couple weeks to fully understand how THON weekend has impacted me.  When I first learned about THON, I had already applied to Penn State and was waiting on my decision letter. I saw this 46 hour dance marathon, thousands of people gathered in the BJC and rallying together for the same cause I had been forced to battle myself. I began to cry, and immediately knew Penn State was where I belonged. 
Now I got to stand on stage during Greek Hour and share my story of childhood cancer to everyone in the BJC. I got to donate my hair to children just like me who had lost their hair due to chemotherapy treatment. I am able to stand 46 hours because it will never amount to the pain that I felt, or how my family and friends felt during the worst time in my life. 

THON weekend was the most physically and mentally challenging thing I have endured since going through chemotherapy. At times, I found myself questioning why am I putting myself through this when I had already gone through so much, and for a while, the only thing I could think about was sitting down. I felt genuine hopelessness that my feet were in pain, I couldn’t stop crying, my body hurt and I don’t know what was wrong. Then I remembered how hopeless I felt eight years ago. Trying to escape the hospital with a pole still attached to my port or screaming at my parents and nurses because I didn’t want to be stuck in the hospital for days on end again. But I had no choice. That is why I stand. I stand for the girl that had no choice. I had a choice to put myself through physical turmoil this THON weekend because it will never amount to how the children and families suffering from childhood cancer feel, and how I once felt. 
Thank you all for being such an amazing support system. I have never felt this kind of love and knowing that everyone is doing this for kids like me is incredible. I LOVE @zbtxsigma THON!!!!!!
