Hey everybody.
So this weekend I went to Mini-Thon.
Thon is a event where people gather money for the Four Diamonds fund, there helps families who has a child with cancer.
The big Thon is held at Penn State, and then some schools have their own Mini-Thon, where they gather money too.
At my Mini-Thon, is 12 hours long, and you have to stand up the whole time. Stand up for cancer.
Then we played some different games, and just had so much fun.
My school raised over $56.000, and the big Penn State Thon raised over $10 million. So hopefully we can find a cure soon.
I really hope I can go to Thon again sometime.
yesterday I had my first official track and field practice. It's really fun, and I hope it's going to be a good season.
Yesterday we booked our trip to California. I can't wait it's going to be sooo awesome, I'm going to Hollywood, and I really can't wait.
Penn State Thon.

It's an amazing achievement that you've raised that much money. One school raising that much money would never happen in Denmark. A month a go Denmark raised 87 million danish kroner(equals $15 million) to children fleeing from hunger and war in Africa. One university together with schools in Pennsylvania almost raises the same as one country with 5.5 million inhabitants. Good job.
