THON ❖

So, since the past two weeks of my life have been consumed by THON, it was only fitting that I dedicate this blog post to the cause. What does this have to do with being Italian-American you may ask? Everything. Cancer is a disease that can affect anybody, in fact it is something that has affected my family personally. Watching all of the Four Diamonds kids who are being helped by THON brought tears to my eyes--there are way too many of them! Here's to one day finding a cure for cancer in all of it's forms and here's to Penn State's Panhellenic/IFC Dance Marathon (THON) for raising $7.8 million FTK❖!

Grazie,

Nancy ❖
