Meet our Dancer: Morgan Shaw

Every year our organization is given the opportunity to send dancers on the behalf to represent us at THON.

This year one of the three dancers is: Morgan Shaw!

Morgan was asked these 5 questions:

1.)What made you want to dance in THON?

Ever since I joined THON my freshman year I knew that I wanted to dance at THON one day. And after going to THON twice and dancing at 24FAC three times I decided that I think I could most certainly handle it this year! It is my last spring semester at Behrend so it was my last opportunity to dance at THON! I definitely just want to the ultimate thing I can do for THON, and I think that dancing is just that! Dancing at THON is the best way to put yourselves in the shoes of any child that we are standing for! I know that my love for THON will only grow after I get to experience this amazing weekend in its entirety and I cannot wait for it!

2.)What are you most excited about for THON weekend?

I am looking forward to seeing all of our THON families as well as meeting new families on the floor. I cannot wait to have a stronger reason to THON and I can’t wait to just experience THON and all that it is in all of its glory.

3.)What are you most nervous about for THON weekend?

I am nervous about making it through the weekend! I have been preparing but I mean it’s one of those things you can’t really actually prepare for until you are there!

4.)How are you preparing for THON?

I have officially cut caffeine out of my life, I also work out everyday and drink more water than my body can handle lol. I also have been sleeping a lot! I have just been trying to get into my tip top shape so I can get through the 46 hours with ease (well maybe not ease but the easiest I can possibly make it).

5.)What was your reaction to finding out you were going to be a dancer to represent Behrend at THON?

Lol I cried a lot. I honestly was speechless it was the best news that I have heard in awhile. Like i said before it has been something that I wanted to do for this organization since I joined and I am finally getting to! I absolutely cannot wait to stand for 46 hours to help fight pediatric cancer!!
