Video: Student mobile journalists recap THON 2009

After 46 hours of dancing, another Penn State Dance Marathon (THON) is in the history books. Just as in years past, Penn State students danced to raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund, which assists pediatric cancer patients treated at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital and their families through superior care, comprehensive support and innovative research.

Penn State student mobile journalist Rachid Haoues recaps the weekend events at the Bryce Jordan Center. Watch his video here.

According to student mobile journalist Britany Gallagher, it's all about the feet. She was on the floor of the Bryce Jordan Center to interview some of the dancers and volunteers and to watch as students revealed the grand total raised "For The Kids." Watch her report here.
