THON Blog

I like Eat n Park cookies, especially when B chews them slowly like a horse. Alex really likes to eat pizza when shes tired and when shes not!

My name is Pat and I am in the 42nd hour of our dance marathon. WOO.

For all the dancers, you're almost there. Your hard work is inspiring. Don't think for a second that you can't do this. THON 2011 has been an amazing experience. Finish Strong, and way to go Mike Pajak! So proud to be your moraler :)

Uh oh, Adam Bogo's readin' this blog. Settin' buildings on fire, cutting trees, dropping logs. When Bogo enters the room everyone gets quiet, because if you talk back he'll put your attitude on a diet. THON 2011 has only six hours left, and I just realized that I'm too tired to rhyme anything with left. BOOM. RESPECT.

Getting a lot of compliments about my new haircut! I donated about 13 inches to Wigs for Kids last night. My hair will grow back and it's going to a child that really needs it. Can't wait until the last four hours; they're almost here!!!

what time is it? seriousyl? my feet are killing me and my legs are hurting. but its all for the kids. its for THON 2011. THON on FTK.

TECHHHHH IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!- Sandy Gilsmisch!

It is currently 7:30am and I just recently got my foot wrapped. The Ice bath was miserable, but totally worth it.

I lost my voice and now sound like my grandma.. but it's okay, it's all FTK!

THON 2011 - Together without Limits!

I can't feel my feet, an't speak lost my voicey voice, can't spell apparently but HEY, I'm good. No complainin. it's all for the kids. yeah yeah. friggity fro yo yo

In my last entry, I commented on the agonizing state of my feet. At that point, my feet were the only problem, but now my knees have swollen like those of a 75 year old man. But again, as I said before, it's all worth it. We dance for the kids, and for the cure, not for our feet.

Hey THON!! Getting ready to have a live interview with Fox and Friends!! Look for Chris and I on live TV!! Our THON Family, The Truex Family, will also be featured from THON! The final hours are here, let's finish strong THON 2011!!!! WW

we're almost there. It's getting close and everyone can feel it (in a good way). Mail call was the most awesome time ever, just brought everything back to focus. Love getting soaked by the kids...love being a kid again!

So it's sometime Sunday morning, and everyone is going completely crazy. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but some people have become unusually irritable due to their lack of sleep, while others are just talking about how crazy they are. Fatigue has definitely set in, and with over 10 hours to go, this could be a problem.

They're gonna call him crazy for this one, Keitie. Oh snap, it's part four with a gold platinum core. Adam Bogovich really brings the heat, whether its in the kitchen or saluting the elite.
