CONGRATS EVERYBODY!

Live auction

There's an auction going on right now with some fun stuff going - a lot of art by miracle kids, and a lot of autographed BGSU memorabilia. This are going well ... and I'm happy because I won a football autographed by the new BGSU football coaching staff. Sweet!

Bikers are here!

The bikers have arrived! Bikers are people who have ridden their bikes all the way from Cincinnati to Bowling Green, from Friday to today. What a celebration! Those bikers have become such a close group. Congrats bikers on a wonderful accomplishment!

Marathon runners

A couple of soccer players, in support of Dance Marathon, just completed an entire marathon on the track above the basketball courts! Great job guys, you deserve some water now!

Athlete hour

So athletes from all available sports teams showed up, including the entire football team. New BGSU football coach Dave Clawson started the event up with a rally, and everybody has had a wonderful time! The athletes are such great characters and are leading events relevant to their sports, including basketball shooting, soccer goal-shooting, golf, and football toss. It speaks volumes to the characters of our student athletes - these are outstanding young men and women, and they are rallying behind the cause of Dance Marathon - FOR THE KIDS!! I will have pictures up soon in the photo album!!

Morning at DM

The sun has come up, and believe me, that is a welcome sight after being up all night. Dance Marathon is still very alive, and many of the dancers have recently enjoyed massages as rewards for keeping going strong all day and night long. Keep it up, guys!

Late Night at DM

Late night is upon us, and none of the energy has left! There have been numerous line dances performed, and I found it amazing how many line dances different people know by heart! At this point, the lights are out, the glow sticks are everywhere, and it is truly a sight to behold!
