TO THE EDITOR:
For the past 13 years, the UNC Dance Marathon has embodied some of Carolina’s best characteristics: tireless energy, endless enthusiasm and an unmatched passion for helping others. This year, I saw firsthand the amount of time and effort put into the organization by my 13 fellow steering members, more than 300 committee members, and more than 1,000 UNC students who have pledged to take a stand for the patients and families of N.C. Children’s Hospital.
“For The Kids” is a well-known phrase around campus. We stand and dance for those who cannot in a display of emotional, physical and financial support for the kids.
I could not be prouder of the students who have worked yearlong to recognize the mission of the UNC Dance Marathon. I speak for the entire Overall Committee when I say thank you to the students of UNC, the doctors and nurses at N.C. Children’s Hospital, and thousands of patients and their families for allowing us to be inspired by each of them every day.
The marathon is the realization of our yearlong hopes and hard work for UNC-DM. On Feb. 18 and 19, come and see why we stand.
