Earlier this week, we
asked dancers to share why they are dancing in THON. Here are just a few of the responses we received.
Kristen Benson, Association Of Preprofessional Pediatric Specialists (APPS)
Why are you dancing in THON?
When I was younger, I lost my close friend to pediatric cancer. She was an amazing person, and she has been my core inspiration for my involvement in THON. When I came to Penn State as a freshman, I joined an organization that has 3 amazing THON children. Each of those kids is so strong, and will always be one of the best parts of my THON involvement.
