This year’s THON was quite different in many ways more than one.
Instead of unifying in the Bryce Jordan Center, thousands of students, volunteers, and alumni plopped down in front of their computers to watch THON, looking at a nearly empty arena which at this time last year housed more than 16,000 people happy to be supporting the fight against pediatric cancer.
However, after reflecting on THON 2021, I realized how much more THON is than where it takes place or how much money it raises. It’s about bringing positivity even just for 46 hours to people when times are rough.
The compilation also featured pictures and videos of past THON children and their families.
The hour featured dozens of mini stories from THON children and their families, interspersed with three longer, personal family stories.
The first two stories â those of the Hailey Dougherty family and the Makenna Linder â spoke of current treatments and survival. The final story â that of Nickolas Akright â spoke of Akrightâs death by suicide following treatment.
Each family discussed what motivates them to keep fighting, and the help that Four Diamonds and THON have given them along the way.
Here are their stories.Â
