Both Brady Lucas and Ryan Mourey were diagnosed with leukemia as children and were supported by THON and the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey.

Today, they are both Penn State students and active in THON, the year-round fundraising effort to fight pediatric cancer that culminates in this weekend’s 46-hour dance marathon.

‘THON not only saved my life in terms of providing that emotional and financial support throughout the whole process, but it really has developed and shape me into who I am today’ Mourey said. 

Centre County Report’s Samantha Errico talks with the two former Four Diamonds kids about their experiences and involvement with THON today.
