TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

My son Pete danced in this 46 hr No sit, No sleep marathon for Pediatric cancer. At the time, our friend had a infant with Leukemia. Teddy died in April '09 two months after the dance marathon. Over 10,000 students participated and raised $ 7.5 million for the cause.
We were so proud of Pete. If you watch this he is wearing a white shirt and fuzzy turquiose hat dancing on the floor. This was taken about 30 hrs into the marathon and the kids are going strong. "ON OUR FEET 2 DAYS STRAIGHT .... WE ARE PENN STATE !!!!!

In case anyone wonders, the kids write the lyrics to the line dance every year and base them on the things from the past year. These are the lyrics they are dancing to.
