My “Why” is because of my passion for helping others. My “Why” is for more smiles. The real question I ask people is “Why not?”.

My journey began in 2008, when a misdiagnosis of the flu resulted in me being airlifted to Children’s in a near-comatose state.

We fundraise for kids to be kids. We fundraise for packs of Uno cards, for smiley face stress balls, for arts and crafts and SO MUCH MORE!

My Terp Thon journey started after dancing for twelve hours my freshman year, and I saw what kind of a difference I could make in the world.
