Every THON dancer has a unique reason for committing to the annual 46-hour event. Penn State swimmer Ellie Tiskus is dancing for her teammate, Niki Nolte.
Nolte is a two-time cancer survivor who just recently returned to the pool for the first time in
nearly 30 months. The junior’s journey has been a motivating factor for Tiskus and the rest of her team.
“As a part of the women’s swim and dive team, Niki has been a huge inspiration to all of us,” Tiskus said. “THON for me means the continuation of the
#NikiStrong movement for our team.”
Nolte’s fascinating story will buoy Tiskus throughout the entirety of the weekend, but there is nothing quite like the emotion of Sunday afternoon. Tiskus has a unique chance to connect with the families who have been affected by cancer.
